CONDENSATION CONTROL FRAMESHIELD 100 GENERAL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Frameshield 100 is a spunbonded polypropylene material developed primarily as a breather membrane for use in timber frame wall construction. Property Applied in the factory during manufacture or on site, Frameshield 100 affords effective protection of timber frames during construction against wind-driven rain, snow and dust. Once completed, the high water vapour permeability of Frameshield 100 allows the controlled escape of vapour from within the timber frame whilst restricting the ingress of rain and moisture. Frameshield 100 conforms to BS 4016:1997 (Specification for Building Papers, Breather Type) and its vapour resistance factor of 0.1 MNs/g is less than the maximum permitted in NHBC requirements. Used in accordance with this NHBC Practice Note, Frameshield 100 provides a superior quality permanent wall breather membrane. Exclusively developed and produced for The A. Proctor Group to carefully determined specifications by Britain’s only spunbonded fabric manufacturer, Don and Low Nonwovens Ltd , Forfar, Scotland. Test Method Mean Results Mass per unit area Water penetration Before ageing: After ageing: Tensile Strength Before ageing: After ageing: Before ageing: After ageing: Tear resistance Ensure integrity of Frameshield 100 by overlapping upper layers over lower layers and staggering vertical joints. Protect timber at wall plate level and mark stud positions for wall tie fixings.
