Rain Screen Cladding

Rain screen cladding is a popular type of facade construction consisting of the structural backing wall and external finish, such as decorative panels, glazing, stone, terracotta, with a cavity between. The external finish provides the main weather barrier, however the backing wall will also need to be weather tight and may also form the air barrier line of the building envelope. Interfaces within the built-up wall and cladding require careful consideration in order to maintain weather and air tightness and thermal performance and illbruck can provide various solutions to ensure protection, performance and durability.

Particularly suited for sealing of joints between timber panels to maintain long-term performance. A permanent bond is achieved on all illbruck building protection membranes and PE, PA, PP, aluminium foils, concrete, brick and block, aerated concrete and wood used to create an airtight seal.

Illbruck ME220 EPDM Membrane

Illbruck ME220 EPDM membrane is used for weather sealing the connecting joint between a window or a façade & an adjacent structure, or to provide an internal air-tight barrier in a similar detail. If an internal and external membrane is required, in order to meet the principle of ‘inside tighter than outside’, ME220 should be located as the inner membrane and ME501 Duo Window Membrane HD as the outer membrane. This will ensure that the inner seal is more vapour tight than the outer which will facilitate drying out of any entrapped moisture between the two layers.

illbruck ME500 Duo Flexible Window Membrane

illbruck ME500 is a polyethylene copolymer film with non-woven fleece fabric. It is an intelligent membrane providing perimeter window seal for airtight internal & weathertight external joints. ME500 Duo Flexible Window Membranes (E & W) comprises a tear-proof woven fleece fabric with a polyethylene copolymer film. An integrated movement pleat is included in the foil which complies with the planning and installation recommendations of DIN 4108-7 and with the RAL Quality Assurance Association for windows and doors. It is attached to the wall with butyl adhesive, and to the window /door with a self-adhesive strip. The product has a specially designed reactive foil – water vapour permeability (sd value) changes depending on the humidity inside the joint. This allows the product to perform as an intelligent seal for airtight internal joints, and weathertight breathable external joints. The intelligent reactive system ensures that the joint always dries at the maximum rate. In non-fenestration applications, the membrane can be used to seal across adjacent insulated panels as an airtight or weathertight seal.

illbruck ME501 Duo Membrane Window HD

illbruck ME501 is a high strength, tear resistant membrane made from polyethylene copolymer film with non-woven fabric. It can be applied before or after window installation to suit on-site details and programming. It is also available with gasket options for fixing to window profiles. ME501 provides a high-performance seal to the perimeter joint between the window/curtain wall and the construction reveal. Due to the intelligent, variable vapour permeability (sd value), when used in an internal UK (warm) environment, it will be vapour-tight, and when used in an external UK (cold) environment it will be vapour open. This means that the membrane is suitable for interior and exterior use providing an air-tight and weather-tight seal whilst always complying with inside tighter than outside principles.
