The A. Proctor Group are experts at solving condensation,
airtightness and
energy efficiency problems in buildings and has launched a
new innovative
high performance variable resistance vapour control layer
for use in
commercial and residential projects.
Procheck Adapt is designed to protect the building fabric
from the potential
risks of condensation whilst providing the added benefit of
serving as an
effective airtight barrier. Thanks to its unique design the
new membrane
offers variable resistance which adapts to changes in
humidity levels,
becoming increasingly more resistant in Winter and more
permeable in
Summer. This ensures that the building fabric is protected
from damaging
moisture levels during cold, wet winter months, and allowing
the fabric to
dry out effectively in warmer, drier months.
Procheck Adapt has a translucent structure which eases
fixing to structural
frames and in combination with its integral tape allows for
a fast installation
time. It has long
been recognised that the correct management of moisture
vapour within buildings is important not only in ensuring
the longevity
of the building fabric, but also in the health of the
occupants. As today’s
structures become increasingly better insulated, more
airtight, and more
energy efficient, management of moisture at the design stage
becomes
critical. The introduction of Procheck Adapt will ensure
that it provides a
high level of protection throughout the building’s lifespan.
