DB+ Intelligent vapour check and airtight membrane.
The principle raw material used to produce pro clima DB + is recycled paper which is strengthened with a reinforcement layer. DB+ is an environmentally friendly option for the sustainable house builder.
- pro clima DB+ is a paper based humidity variable INTELLIGENT vapour check which possesses effective variable diffusion resistance properties.
- pro clima DB + is an internal, airtight vapour check with humidity variable vapour resistance. It is manufactured from cellulose fibre, reinforced for additional strength and treated with natural salts against fire.
- pro clima DB + cellulose humidity variable vapour check provides a consistent internal airtight seal for the construction, while reducing the risk of interstitial condensation in both summer and winter conditions. In summer conditions pro clima DB PLUS allows more vapour diffusion, therefore structural components can rapidly dry out. In winter conditions it permits less vapour diffusion, ensuring the building remains protected against vapour penetration, hence protecting the building fabric from harmful moisture.
- In non-breathing structures (i.e. those with vapour impermeable materials installed externally), any moisture that gets into the insulation may become trapped and immediately begin to degrade its performance. DB + eliminates this risk by allowing any trapped moisture to evaporate on a seasonal basis, due to its humidity variable vapour resistance.
- pro clima DB + Meets with the durability requirements of EN 13984
Roll the DB+ out so it is at right-angles to the wall studs or rafters. Always install the longest length possible to minimise taped overlaps and save time. The side of the membrane facing the installer can be the printed side or the plain side; there is no right way up for DB+, but we would recommend installing it with the printed side facing you, so the guide for taping correctly can be seen and alignment of overlaps is easier.
Fix the membrane without creases using galvanised or rust resistant staples of a least 8mm deep and 10mm wide. Fix staples into the studs/rafters every 100mm. If blown-in insulation is being used, the gap between staples should be reduced to 50mm. Do not stretch or tension the DB+ as you unroll it. When installing the next strip of DB+, the overlap should be 100mm.
Overlaps should be sealed with Pro Clima Uni Tape. This is also made from recycled paper and ideally suited for use with DB+.
Suitable For
Pro Clima DB+ airtight intelligent membrane can be used internally on walls, roofs and ceilings. It is reinforced with a fibreglass mesh so is robust enough for use with blown-in insulation. In top floor ceilings with insulation between the ceiling joists, the paper membrane should be installed to the underside of the joists directly beneath the insulation. As it is a paper-based membrane, contact with rain or water should be strictly avoided. It is not suitable for any external application.
