A robust highly reflective low emissivity vapour control layer used to enhance the thermal performance of the wall, ceiling or floor construction.

Glidevale Protect integrated lap tape

Glidevale Protect VC Foil Ultra with newly integrated lap and sealing tapes is a robust highly reflective low emissivity vapour control layer which has been developed to enhance the thermal performance of walls, ceilings and floors and offers Class 1 Surface Spread of Flame to BS 476-7. It provides a significant thermal benefit along with strength and performance enhancements over conventional vapour control layer materials when used with a service cavity. The new integrated lap and sealing tape speeds up installation when compared to traditional overlap tapes.

Glidevale Protect VC Foil Ultra is of triple ply construction and the innovative design incorporates an adhesive strip located on the outer edges of the membrane and follows the dotted overlap line. Along one edge the tape is on the upper surface, on the opposite edge the tape is on the lower surface. This layout allows ease of application, quick installation and ensures that the overlap is correctly jointed and sealed by securing the two strips of integrated tape together. This provides a more reliable, effective seal than a traditional overlap tape even when joined without an underlying substrate.

Additionally, when applying any mechanical fixings through the double layered sealing laps, the integrated tape acts as a secondary sealant and reduces air leakage in these otherwise problematic areas.
