Introduction To Construction Membranes CPD - A Proctor Group
This CPD covers the types and functions of construction membranes which are available today as well as looking at how these functions have developed over time.
The presentation focuses on the use of vapour permeable membranes and vapour control layers in domestic timber frame applications and considers the effect these membrane can have on the overall energy performance and air leakage of the building envelope.
Topics covered in this CPD:
- Managing the balance of Heat, Air and Moisture Movement in timber frame.
- Key performance criteria for construction membranes.
- Specification and installation of vapour permeable (“breather”) membranes in walls.
