Pro Clima's Intello Plus membrane is celebrated for its exceptional airtight properties and its innovative ability to modulate vapour transmission based on humidity levels. This membrane permits increased vapour flow as indoor humidity rises, ensuring optimal moisture regulation. It is widely used to create airtight seals within interior walls and ceilings, facilitating the escape of moisture from air and insulation through its responsive design. This feature helps improve indoor air quality while minimising condensation, mould growth, and other issues related to excess moisture.
Application Scenarios
Intello Plus is well-suited for installation inside wall and ceiling assemblies in timber frame buildings and timber roofing of masonry structures. It is particularly advantageous for lightweight constructions utilising fibrous or flexible insulation materials. Additionally, Intello Plus can be employed in existing roofs and ceilings to boost airtightness.
Core Functionality
As a moisture-safe, airtight, intelligent vapour control layer, Pro Clima’s Intello Plus stands out by adjusting its resistance to vapour diffusion according to ambient humidity. This adaptive property helps reduce the risk of condensation, thereby safeguarding the structure from damage caused by moisture, mould, rot, and dampness.
Operational Principles
During construction, surfaces like concrete, plaster, or screed emit high humidity. Conversely, Intello Plus reacts by allowing moisture to escape at rates up to 100 times higher than conventional membranes with static vapour resistance, speeding up the drying process. This rapid response is critical for preventing condensation and structural issues arising from moisture infiltration.
Benefits and Construction
The membrane comprises three layers: a soft backing to reduce friction and withstand tearing, an intelligent airtight vapour control layer, and a durable mesh layer for added tensile strength and resistance to tears from nails or staples. Its minimal stretch properties make it ideal for blown-in or dense-pack insulation applications.
Certification and Industry Recognition
Independent bodies such as the British Board of Agreement (BBA), Passive House Institute, and the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI) have tested and certified the membrane's high quality and performance standards.
