A. PROCTOR Proctorwrap (Frameshield 100) Wall Breather Membrane | Insulation Merchant

Product Details

Description

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.
