V-Gard

Description

The V-Gard Vapour Control Membrane is a high-performance layer engineered to prevent the passage of water vapour into the roof build-up. Constructed from reinforced aluminium foil with a self-adhesive bituminous backing, it forms a robust and continuous barrier against vapour diffusion, safeguarding insulation and structural components from condensation and moisture damage.

Its fibreglass reinforcement delivers excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability during installation, while the release film backing allows for quick, easy application without hot works or open flames.
Compatible with a variety of roof deck substrates, including metal, timber, and concrete, V-Gard provides durable and consistent performance for both new build and refurbishment projects.
