Description

AirFlo™ Black VPM is designed to be used in roof construction. With a black exterior, solar absorbency is increased making for a warmer home for those in colder climates.AirFlo™ Black VPM has been engineered to meet the demands of the Arctic climate, with a solar absorbency of up to 30°. AirFlo™ Black VPM allows vapour transmission without compromising weather resistance, delivering a shield of protection to help against external weather penetration whilst also alleviating condensation build-up.An average household can generate up to 12 litres of internal condensation on a daily basis. Condensation within the roof frame can result in accelerated frame deterioration, mould infestations, sick building syndrome and costly repairs.Using the right Vapour Permeable weather barrier can help manage condensation and save you future headaches.
