Proctor Proctorwrap (formerly Frameshield 100) is a spun-bonded polypropylene material developed primarily as a breather membrane for use in timber frame walls and light steel frame applications. Applied in the factory during manufacture or on-site, Frameshield 100 affords effective protection of timber frames during construction against wind-driven rain, snow and dust. Once completed, the high water vapour permeability of Frameshield 100 allows the controlled escape of vapour from within the timber frame whilst restricting the ingress of rain and moisture.

Application:
- Supplied in roll form, Frameshield 100 should be fixed to frames with austenitic stainless steel nails or staples at centres no more than 500mm.
On areas where sheets are required to be lapped, the following dimensions must be adhered to:
- Vertical Laps - not less than 150mm
- Horizontal laps - not less than 100mm

- Ensure integrity of Frameshield 100 by overlapping upper layers over lower layers and staggering vertical joints. Protect timber at wall plate level and mark stud positions for wall tie fixings. Once applied to the wall, Frameshield 100 should be covered within 3 months.
- Frameshield 100 must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations.
