Product catalog summary
Facade Weatherproofing Systems

Breather Membrane System
  • Function: Provides waterproofing and vapor permeability, installed on the cold side of external insulation.
  • Installation: Vertical overlap of 150mm and horizontal overlap of 100mm. Fixed with double-sided adhesive/sealant tape and mechanical fixing.
  • Considerations: Detailed weatherproofing design required for each project. All perforations must be sealed, and installation should occur in dry conditions above 5ºC.

AVCL (Airtight Vapour Control Layer) System
  • Function: Acts as an airtight vapor barrier on the warm side of the back wall.
  • Installation: Similar overlap requirements as the breather membrane. Fixed on galvanized steel studs with double-sided adhesive/sealant tape.
  • Fire Performance: Must meet noncombustibility standards (Class A2-s1, d0).
  • Common Faults: Include unsealed perforations, lack of compatibility tests, and inadequate detailing.

Product Availability and Specifications
  • Effisus Breather FR System: Includes membranes and accessories with fire classification A2-s1,d0.
  • Effisus Vapour FR System: Offers high resistance to air and water penetration, with strong tensile strength.
  • Accessories: Include tapes and adhesives compatible with various substrates like concrete and aluminum.

Technical Support
  • Includes project-specific approaches, product specifications, weatherproofing design, and site support.

EFFISUS FACADE WEATHERPROOFING FIRE - Guidance-3

CONSULTANTS/ARCHITECTS FACADE WEATHERPROOFING - FIRE BREATHER / AVCL SYSTEMS BREATHER MEMBRANE SYSTEM System Function Waterproofing vapour permeable system. System Location Perimeter sealing It should be installed on top of the external insulation (cold side) protecting the entire facade composition. However and depending on the cladding brackets complexity (size/shape) it is acceptable that breather membrane systems be fixed on the top of the sheathing board. The weatherproofing design of the breather membrane systems should be done in detail and in project by project basis. Double-sided adhesive/sealant...

AVCL (AIRTIGHT VAPOUR CONTROL LAYER) SYSTEM System Function Airtight vapour barrier membrane. System Location Perimeter sealing AVCL should be located on the internal face (warm side) of the back wall and fixed on top of the vertical Galvanized Steel SFS Studs. The weatherproofing design of the AVCL membrane systems should be done in detail and project by project basis. Double side adhesive/sealant tape (thickness > 1,50mm) applied continuosly on the connections of ACVL membrane edges/end laps to concrete, aluminium or any other substrate allowing always the interface movement (AVCL/Windows frame;...
