Reflectashield TF 0.81 Membrane 1.45m x 50m x 0.55mm

Reflectashield TF 0.81 is a vapour permeable low emissivity membrane specifically designed to enhance the thermal performance of timber and steel frame structures. Reflectashield TF 0.81 is a non-woven polypropylene film laminate, providing excellent breathability, as well as secondary protection to the building during construction. The product is installed on the external face of the timber frame, foil side face out, similar to that of a traditional breather membrane but with added thermal benefits.

The A. Proctor Group are constantly reviewing their product portfolio to keep up with current legislation. The A. Proctor Group have re-tested Reflectashield TF at the National Physics Laboratory (NPL) resulting in an increase of the claimed thermal performance to 0.81 m2K/W R-value.

The resulting increase in thermal performance does not affect any of the high performance characteristics afforded by the use of Reflectashield TF 0.81.

Reflectashield TF 0.81 complies with the vapour resistance requirements set out by BS 4016, TRADA and the NHBC. The existing legislation requires a breather membrane to have a vapour resistance not greater than 0.60 MNs/g. Reflectashield TF 0.81 has a vapour resistance of 0.41 MNs/g.

The A. Proctor Group can provide a range of solutions, with U-values, down to as low as 0.17W/m2K in standard timber frame walling applications. Once Reflectashield TF 0.81 is applied to the walls, the primary wall covering should be installed within 3 months.

Reflectashield TF 0.81 must be covered as soon as practically possible on completion of installation. Any damaged areas should be repaired or replaced before completion.
