CLIMA CONTROL NET 160
MEMBRANE WITH VARIABLE VAPOUR DIFFUSION AND REINFORCEMENT GRID
CLIMA CONTROL NET 160 is the membrane with variable vapour diffusion that protects from weather and is breathable when internal relative humidity is too high, and serves as a vapour control membrane when internal humidity is at suitable levels. It is the ideal membrane to increase energy performance for packages and solutions for reconditioning of existing structures.
Description
CLIMA CONTROL NET 160: breathable membrane and vapour barrier in a single solution.
Thanks to its special composition and reinforcing grid, the CLIMA CONTROL NET 160 membrane is not affected by mechanical stresses caused by staples, nails or wear caused by walking.
The special PA film gives the product the ability to adapt to the hygrometric conditions of the building. If the membrane comes into contact with high humidity levels, it transforms from a vapour control layer into a breathable product, guaranteeing that the structure remains dry.
It is one of the products for which the EPD and LCA environmental declarations have been developed.

Description
The application surface must be dry, free of dust and grease. Surface elements must be removed so that the membrane is not damaged during application.
The membrane includes a reinforcement mesh that provides high resistance to mechanical stresses caused by staples, nails, or wear when walked on.
Recommended use: direct UV protection is guaranteed. Installation is therefore permitted on both the internal and external sides of the building envelope.
Suitable for energy retrofit applications due to its ability to dynamically adapt to relative humidity. It is breathable when internal relative humidity is too high, and serves as a vapour control layer when internal humidity is at suitable levels.
Installation:
Unroll the membrane over the surface, progressively remove the release film from the adhesive, and press the membrane firmly to ensure proper adhesion.
Ensure that the overlap between the membranes is at least 15 cm to achieve an optimal seal.
Each layer must be fixed to the substrate with a mechanical fastening device to ensure installation stability.
To ensure correct and professional installation, the use of a nail sealing point is required.
Further details regarding installation can be found in the specific instructions provided by the supplier.
