Wraptite® airtightness membrane has been successfully installed on an impressive new luxury high-rise student accommodation project in Newcastle Upon Tyne. The A. Proctor Group, recognised experts in technically advanced thermal, acoustic and membrane products for the construc- tion industry, were approached to advise the main
contractor and cladding contractor on a high-performance solution to comply with the requirements outlined by NHBC and the very latest building regulations. Wraptite offers a safer and simplified membrane system, conforms with the required Class B rating, and it provides a fully self-adhered vapour permeable air barrier certified by the BBA.

www.visqueen.com Housing development balances airtightness
A brand new housing development in County Cork Ireland is to maximise airtightness and energy efficiency of the homes whilst ensuring the protection of the building fabric with the introduc- tion of a high performance variable-permeability vapour control layer from the A. Proctor Group. Procheck Adapt has been specifically designed to protect the building fabric from the potential risks
of condensation, whilst serving as a highly effective airtight barrier. Thanks to its unique design the membrane offers variable permeability which adapts to changes in humidity levels and allows the structure to dry out in the summer and while protecting it from moisture overload in the winter.
