Protect your roofing system with high-quality vapour barriers and vapour control layers (VCLs). Designed to prevent moisture build-up and condensation, these essential roofing components help maintain insulation performance and structural integrity.

What Is a Vapour Barrier?

A vapour barrier, also known as a vapour control layer (VCL), reduces moisture infiltration within roofing and wall systems. It plays a vital role in preventing dampness, mold, and energy loss in warm and cold roof applications.

Choosing the Right Vapour Barrier for Your Roofing System

When selecting a vapour control layer, consider factors such as:

✔  The level of humidity in your building

✔  The type of roof insulation (warm or cold roof)

✔  The material of the roof deck (metal, plywood, concrete, etc.)

✔  The installation method (self-adhesive vs. bonded application)

Our vapour barriers are designed to meet the highest industry standards, ensuring optimal protection for commercial and residential roofing projects.
