Wall Sisalation
RHINO PRIMO WRAP
Rhino Wrap Products are specifically manufactured to the highest industry standards. WALL INSTALLATION - Up to R1.1 may be added to the wall system when Rhino Primo Wrap RP-51-PM is installed as pliable building membrane behind brick veneer / other claddings with a drained cavity. Our specialised manufacturing process bonds together Aluminium Foil to a high strength reinforcing Polymer Mesh using a flame retardant adhesive. Rhino Primo Wrap may be used as a substitute for nonpermeable vapour barrier wall wraps
Product Information
Rhino Primo Wrap Usage
In all applications:
-
External cladding should be installed A.S.A.P
-
No contact is to be made with wet concrete or mortar
-
Store in dry area, weather proofed only after installation
-
Shrinkage of up to 2% can be expected
In reflective foil laminate applications:
-
Use only in accordance with AS/NZS 4200. 2 for the “Installation Requirements for Pliable Building Membranes”
-
Minimum of 20mm air space is recommended adjacent to reflective foil face to achieve maximum insulation values
RHINO BREATHABLE MEMBRANE
Product Information
Rhino Breathable Membrane is designed to be used in residential timber and steel frame wall construction behind external cladding products. Rhino Breathable Membrane has been engineered to meet the demands of the Australian climate. Non-perforated, it features micro-pores to allow vapour transmission without compromising weather resistance, delivering a shield of protection to help against external weather penetration whilst also alleviating condensation build-up.
Beneath the surface - An average household can generate up to 12 litre of internal condensation on a daily basis. Condensation within the wall frame can result in accelerated frame deterioration, mould infestations, sick building syndrome and costly repairs. Using the right vapour permeable weather barrier can help manage condensation and save you future headaches.
RHINO breathable membrane usage
-
Residential wall applications in Australian climate zones 2-8
-
Refer cladding manufacturers guidelines
-
Should be installed in accordance with AS 4200.2
-
Install external cladding within 4 weeks of membrane installation
-
Ensure membrane surface is dry at time of cladding installation
-
Good practice to separate membrane from external cladding by a cavity to allow for drainage of any moisture that has penetrated the exterior cladding.
-
Insulation installed behind the breathable membrane should not create a drainage restriction within the cavity
