Installation Manual Effisus Vapour FR

Product catalog summary
Overview: Effisus Vapour FR is an airtight vapour control layer designed to protect buildings from condensation and enhance energy efficiency. It serves as a multifunctional waterproofing and fire-resistant barrier, made from specialized fiberglass fleece, applicable to walls and ceilings to prevent heat and moisture transfer.
Scope of Usage: Primarily used as a wall lining membrane.
Product Details: The membrane is available in standard roll dimensions of 1.20m width and 50m length, with a thickness of 0.148mm ± 0.015mm, and is black in color. Key technical specifications include a thickness of 0.230mm ± 0.020mm, fire reaction class A1, and high resistance to water penetration and vapour.
Accessories: The system includes adhesive tapes like Effisus 2Adjoin DF Tape and Effisus 2Bond DS Tape for sealing and fixing, along with other accessories such as Effisus Bonding KF+P Adhesive and Effisus Coat NP Prime for surface preparation.
Installation Instructions: Proper storage and installation conditions are crucial, including maintaining a temperature range of 5ºC - 20ºC and ensuring clean, dry surfaces. The membrane should be applied without tension and protected post-installation.
Fixing and Sealing: The membrane is fixed using tapes like Effisus 2Adjoin DF and Effisus 2Bond DS, with specific instructions for overlapping joints and perimeter sealing to ensure water runoff and airtightness.
Repairs: In case of damage, repairs involve using a patch of Effisus Vapour FR Membrane with compatible sealant accessories, ensuring a secure and durable fix.
Compatibility: Effisus Vapour FR Membranes are compatible with traditional building materials, ensuring broad applicability in construction projects.
Accessories Consumption: Details on the consumption and storage of various Effisus products are provided. For Effisus Coat NP Primer, the consumption is 10-15g/m at a 5cm application width, depending on the substrate. It should be stored in a cool, dry, frost-proof place, protected from direct sunlight, with the container tightly closed. Effisus Cleaner LV has a consumption rate of 35m²/litre and similar storage requirements. Effisus Bonding KF+P Paste Adhesive should be stored in original containers at temperatures between 15ºC and 35ºC for no more than 12 months.
Test Results and Certification: Effisus Vapour FR has achieved a class A2-s1,d0 rating as a system and a class A1 rating as a membrane according to Test Standard EN13501. For more detailed information, contacting Effisus is recommended.

Installation Manual Effisus Vapour FR -1

1. Summary Effisus Vapour FR works as an airtight vapour control layer (AVCL), protecting the building from the risk of condensation and improving its airtightness and, consequently, energy efficiency. The Effisus Vapour FR wall lining membrane is a high-quality multifunctional waterproofing and fireresistant vapour barrier, made of a specialized fiberglass fleece. Effisus Vapour FR Membrane can be applied to walls or ceilings to prevent heat radiation and moisture transfer. It also serves as an effective fire-retardant layer for building projects. Figure 1 - Effisus Vapour FR System 2. Scope of Usage In General: Wall lining membrane. 3. Presentation and Product Details 3.1 Effisus Vapour FR Membrane Standard roll width: 1.20m Roll length: 50 m Thickness: 0.148mm ± 0.015mm Colour: Black. Characteristics: see the table below.
