Tpo Roofing Vapor Barrier

Vapor control membranes play a very important role in this.

Tpo roofing vapor barrier. Can be used on concrete plywood exterior gypsum densdeck prime securock or other approved substrates. A 15 mil composite reinforced aluminum coated poly with a self adhering sbs. 40 mil composite designed as a temporary roof during prolonged re roofing projects or as a vapor barrier under all carlisle roofing systems. Tri laminate woven polyethylene nonslip uv protected top surface.

Used as an air and vapor barrier direct to metal decking. The vapor barrier protects the roof insulation from the vapor included in the interior air. Provides low air and vapor permeability. The firestone v gard vapor control membrane is designed to be used as vapor control layer in firestone roofing systems.

This vapor if left unchecked can wet the insulation and over time will reduce the r value of the insulation and lead to mold. A roof design that includes an adhered roof membrane with multiple layers of insulation with board joints offset and staggered over a vapor retarder air barrier helps lower the risk that air and the moisture it carries will infiltrate the roof system. A vapor barrier can be loose laid or fully adhered. The roof is a large part of the building envelope and therefore has a significant impact on the flow of energy in and out of buildings.

Provides temporary weather protection for 90 days provides high tensile strength and puncture resistance. A loose laid vapor barrier is just a big sheet of 6 mil plastic that is rolled out prior to the insulation layers.
