Pro Clima Intello Plus is classified as airtight and also features a humidity variable vapour transfer rate. When conditions are right, the higher the humidity within a construction, the more vapour passes through.
Used to airtight seal interior walls and ceilings, it allows moisture in the air, within the insulation of the building fabric to escape through its unique Intelligent membrane. Intello Plus also improves indoor air quality by eliminating the risk of condensation, mould and other moisture related problems.
Intello Plus vapour control membrane can be used internally on walls and ceilings in timber frame buildings or in the timber roof of masonry buildings. It is especially suited to lightweight constructions where fibrous or flexible insulation is used in the walls and ceilings.
When retrofitting airtightness to an existing building, Intello Plus can be used in the roof and ceilings.
Pro Clima Intello Plus, as a hydrosafe airtight intelligent vapour control membrane, differs from other more conventional membranes by having the ability to alter its diffusion resistance based on the current humidity of its surroundings. This ensures the risk of condensation is minimised, with no structural damage from moisture, mould, rot and damp.
The construction phase often generates high humidity as wet building materials like concrete, plaster or screeds dry out or if materials stored on-site were not adequately protected from rain. In this situation, Intello Plus reacts to allow up to 100x more moisture to escape so the building can dry out far quicker than if a membrane with a fixed diffusion resistance was used.
When moisture levels and humidity in the building are high, either from the construction, leaks caused by unintentional punctures in the membrane or by moisture transfer from adjoining structures (flanking), the risk of condensation and structural damage is greater; Intello Plus is the best choice to eliminate this risk and safeguard the structure for the entire lifetime of the building.
Intello Plus has three layers; a fleecy backing that reduces friction, so snags and tears are less likely to cause a hole and compromise the airtightness. The backing also makes the membrane easier to install by improving its mobility when sliding over surfaces. The middle layer is the airtight intelligent membrane and the third layer is a super strong mesh that greatly increases the tensile strength and nail/staple tear resistance. This reinforcement makes Intello Plus perfectly suitable for any type of blown-in (dense-pack) insulation due to it having a very low amount of stretch.
