CONTENTS

External membranes for roofs and walls, organised by type (monolithic, microporous, reflective, weldable and fire-resistant) and by substrate: CLT, timber frame, steel framing, insulation and concrete. Installation recommendations for walls, ground connections, windows and roofs, including the relevant fastening and joint-sealing sequences.

WHY YOU SHOULD DOWNLOAD IT

It explains how to install external membranes correctly, from tensioning and fastening to the number of staples required, overlaps and sealing.

It shows how to avoid the most common mistakes at critical junctions, such as ground connections, window openings and pipe and cable penetrations, where achieving wind- and watertightness is more challenging.

AUDIENCE

The brochure is intended for designers, site managers and installers working on building envelopes with CLT, timber frame, steel framing or masonry structures, who are responsible for ensuring the wind- and watertightness of the membrane.
