Façadeshield® UV is designed specifically to ensure the building fabric maintains good water resistance and breathability behind open jointed cladding.

Leading research has culminated in a non-woven breathable membrane that combines exceptional water resistance and UV resistance with the aesthetically pleasing dark colour to provide a “shadow” appearance within open rainscreen façades.

Façadeshield UV enhances the air tightness of the building whilst reducing the risk of condensation due to its’ high vapour permeability, yet airtight fabric. The product comes with the reassurance of a CE Mark showing the product’s fitness for purpose in the façade application, making it the obvious choice behind open jointed façades.

To protect the membrane from mechanical damage, the joint openings in the façade covering have to be less than 30% of the area, and a maximum of 30mm wide.

Application:

Façadeshield UV is fixed to the supporting construction mechanically with staples or similar. Façadeshield UV must be laid vertically from top to bottom or horizontally with a minimum overlap of 100 mm. Use Façadeshield tape when joining together lengths of Façadeshield UV or for other joints where an air-tight seal is required. The membrane must be free from dust and grease and the substrates must be dry and stable. Apply pressure by hand or roller to ensure a good bond. The adhesive used does not contain resins or other additives which could cause the adhesive film to become brittle and therefore this product is extremely resistant to ageing. Battens/back ventilation must be provided between the Façadeshield UV and the external façade covering.
