Wraptite® airtightness for new self-build house
A new self-build house has been built incorporating the high-performing Wraptite air-barrier from the A. Proctor Group. The project consists of a 250 m2
detached private residence developed by Mark Skinnader. The client, Mark
Skinnader, explains: “In the early stages of the project, the A. Proctor Group technical representative visited the site to identify a suitable airtight system. As there is no cavity in the proposed wall build-up, we chose the Wraptite breather membrane to act as a vapour permeable and airtight barrier at the sheathing board layer.” On the performance of Wraptite on the project, Mark Skinnader commented: “The experience with Wraptite has been excellent. The material is extremely high quality and has provided an excellent weathertight seal to the building envelope. In addition, the self adhesive nature of Wraptite makes the installation much quicker and more efficient. Waste was minimal, and offcuts could be re-used. The A. Proctor Group also provided Wraptite Liquid Flashing for sealing around windows, another excellent product. I am now actively looking at Wraptite on several large scale projects.” The Wraptite system is the only self-adhering vapour permeable air barrier certified by the BBA. It combines the critical properties of vapour permeability and airtightness in one self-adhering membrane.
