Carl Bailey, Regional Technical Manager at Firestone, explained: “As the thermal performance of the building envelope improves, the risk of condensation affecting the insulation layer increases, unless an AVCL is installed to provide effective and permanent protection from vapour rising from within the building.
“With V-Gard we have enhanced the level of vapour control to create an
any chance of a trip hazard while the 18V lithium-ion battery delivers a run time of over 30 minutes in eco!efficiency mode, which also reduces operating noise.
A fantastic addition to any cleaning regime, the Kärcher HV 1/1 Bp easily cleans under objects or furniture without needing to rearrange the room and can be quickly changed from handheld cleaner to upright floor tool to thoroughly remove dirt and dust from all areas of the building.
Thanks to the wide variety of accessories, the HV 1/1 Bp is extremely versatile for a range of cleaning tasks. Available accessories include: crevice nozzle, suction tubes, floor nozzle, upholstery nozzle, flexible suction hose and a handy carrying strap.
Developed specifically for use with any Firestone EPDM warm roof build-up, V-Gard is a flexible and durable membrane with excellent resistance to foot traffic. It is suitable even for installations where there is high mechanical stress and compatible for use on most roofing substrates, including metal, concrete and wooden decks.
Once installed, the V-Gard will provide temporary protection from rainfall for three to four days, enabling a part-installed roof to be left over a weekend, for example, and covered by the insulation and EPDM layers the following week.
