The vapour permeable membrane solution provides mold resistance for building envelope applications.
Self-Adhering, Versatile Applications
A self-adhering, primerless membrane, AquaBarrier VP provides performance in wall assemblies where a vapour permeable, air barrier is required.
Thanks to the vapour permeable matrix of AquaBarrier VP, it can be applied to most common substrates such as gypsum, oriented strand board (OSB), block, concrete, concrete masonry unit (CMU) and plywood. The membrane is also designed for various applications, including masonry cavity walls, metal cladding systems, renovations and retrofits, siding, curtain walls and parapets.
Installation
The design of the AquaBarrier VP membrane makes it easy to install, with no mechanical attachments or primer required for standard application. Coated with a proprietary acrylic adhesive on the back surface, AquaBarrier VP offers performance for common wall applications and also features a polypropylene release film.
AquaBarrier VP is an effective vapour permeable membrane when installed according to IKO specifications.
Mold and Mildew Resistance
Lastly, AquaBarrier VP is constructed of a polyolefin synthetic polymer (fibre) membrane with low water retention capacity and is therefore mold and mildew resistant.
Wall System Accessories
The IKO AquaBarrier line includes a range of membrane and accessory products that provide protection in wall assemblies with air and vapour barrier systems. Engineered to meet or exceed industry standards for high performance, the line includes self-adhering and torch-on wall membranes, through-wall flashing membrane, foundation protection and flashing tapes.
