Why would moisture accumulate within building elements?
Unanticipated moisture may be present in buildings; perhaps as a result of extremely adverse conditions during the building stage (e.g. the timber / insulation gets damp) due to flanking, diffusion directly through the membrane or air leakage (e.g., convection). Using an ‘Intelligent’ pro clima vapour check ensures that this moisture can dry as quickly as possible due to its unique diffusion properties. Conventional vapour barriers remain vapour tight under all conditions which may lead to damaging moisture build up. The pro clima system offers superior protection against even extreme unforeseen circumstances. Research shows that under normal winter conditions around 0.5g of moisture is able to penetrate a gap free vapour check/barrier by diffusion.
