The primary role of vapor barrier films
Vapor barrier films play a crucial role in construction, particularly in protecting against vapor and moisture penetration. The ML 90 and ML 110 films are three-layer films designed to provide optimal protection on sloped and flat roofs, as well as on vertical wall constructions. Their application significantly reduces the risk of damage caused by moisture, contributing to the longevity of the entire structure.
Specifications and technical characteristics
Vapor barrier films ML are available in two models: ML 90 and ML 110. These films have medium resistance, offering a balance between durability and flexibility. Compared to other films, such as MLS 98, ML films stand out for their affordability and reliability. Additionally, ML films meet strict European standards, as confirmed by the CE mark, ensuring product quality and safety.
Application of ML vapor barrier films in construction
ML films are installed parallel to the roof beams or directly beneath the thermal insulation, allowing for optimal protection of construction materials. These films are particularly effective in protecting against internal condensation, which can cause severe long-term damage. Their use is recommended in all climatic conditions where there is a risk of moisture penetration.
Protection against internal condensation
One of the main advantages of ML vapor barrier films is their ability to prevent internal condensation. In high humidity conditions, vapor can accumulate within wall and roof structures, leading to mold growth and structural weakening. By installing ML films, this problem is effectively resolved, ensuring the dryness and stability of the building.
Advantages of three-layer films
Three-layer ML films offer additional protection compared to standard two-layer films. The third layer provides an extra barrier against moisture penetration, increasing the film's resistance to wear and mechanical damage. This feature makes ML films an ideal choice for long-term and demanding construction projects.
Use on different types of roofs and walls
ML vapor barrier films are versatile and can be used on various types of roofs, whether flat or sloped. Additionally, these films are used for vertical wall constructions, providing complete protection against external and internal moisture. Their versatility makes them an ideal solution for a wide range of construction applications.
Compliance with European standards
ML vapor barrier films meet all the requirements of the European standard EN 13984:2006, guaranteeing their quality and reliability. The CE mark on the product confirms that the films have passed all necessary tests and meet strict safety standards. This provides additional confidence to users in the quality of the product.
Longevity and maintenance
One of the key advantages of ML vapor barrier films is their longevity. Thanks to high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing technology, these films retain their properties over a long period, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance. This significantly reduces maintenance costs and extends the lifespan of the entire structure.
Cost-effectiveness in use
In addition to high quality, ML vapor barrier films are also an economical solution for protecting buildings. Their affordable price combined with durability makes them an ideal choice for all types of construction projects, whether residential or commercial.
Vapor barrier films ML 90 and ML 110 are the ideal solution for those seeking reliable and long-lasting protection against vapor and moisture. Their application ensures the stability and longevity of the building while reducing the risk of moisture-related damage. With ML films, your investment in home protection is secure and justified.
