Windproof film performs two essential functions - it is a shield for the wind and protection from steam and moisture. This is a single-layer, two-layer or three-layer material made from high- density low-pressure polyethylene.
All heaters have the ability to pass air. If it is not protected, the performance characteristics of the insulation material will noticeably decrease, and problems with its insufficient thickness may occur.
A windproof film, installed together with the insulation, gives the stabilizing effect of the heat-insulating properties of the insulation material, which remains unchanged regardless of weather conditions. Wind protection will provide free exit of water vapor from the insulation of the roofing pie or the facade of the building.
Reliable waterproofing in construction is understood to mean the exclusion of moisture on protected surfaces during rain, wet snow, strong winds and, of course, protection against collected condensate.
Russian-made Izospan windproof film perfectly meets all the requirements listed above.
It will provide such benefits:
- The Izospan wind protection can be laid directly on the heat-insulating material without a ventilation gap.
- By saving space, you can increase the insulation layer.
- Protects wooden structures from contact with water and its vapors, and this prevents decay.
- Increases the service life of expensive heaters.
- Windproof film plays a key role in ventilated facades. Its presence by 30% reduces heat loss, among other things, such a film (membrane) protects the insulation from destruction and delamination.
Membranes of the Izospan brand are divided into groups. There are only three of them:
1. Protecting from moisture, wind and steam.
Such membranes serve as protection of the insulating material and structures of the house from wind, condensate and moisture coming from the external environment. In this case, the external protection must allow steam to pass through, which will ensure the weathering of the vapors from the insulation material into the atmosphere. In the Izospan line of materials there is a unique windproof film - Izospan A with fire retardant ligatures called flame retardants. Such a membrane protects from fires during construction.
2. Insulating structures of buildings from moisture and steam.
This group of membranes protects the insulation from condensation and steam, which penetrate from the interior of all types of houses. Such films not only insulate the insulation and increase its service life, but also protect the building structure from condensation, fungal infection and corrosion of some structural elements.
3. The third type of film reflects heat, moisture, isolates the insulation from steam and has an energy-saving effect.
This is a complex material that allows you to reflect thermal infrared radiation and protect the internal structural elements of the building from steam coming from the inside of the house, and also from wind and water vapor from the external environment. Do you want to save on space heating and reduce the time for heating it? Then you need just such a windproof film. The price of an eight-meter roll of the Izospan membrane ranges from a thousand rubles. Its service life is 50 years.
