Description

A wrong design of the waterproofing, airtightness and vapor breathability can cause major issues in a timber building, but on the other hand well-detailed and carefully executed shop drawings can guarantee its durability.
Based on real examples of how to design and install them, this webinar will explain:

  •  the main types of membranes that are available on the market, and how to choose the correct one for your project,

  •  the fire resistance of the different membranes, the materials and technology used to produce them, their technical characteristics and durability.
