DUROFIX Vapour Barrier Films
Case Study
Solving Moisture and Mold Problems in Construction with DUROFIX Vapour Barrier Films.
Client
A leading construction materials company undertaking a large-scale residential project in a coastal region.
Challenge
During the construction of several high-rise buildings, the client encountered persistent issues related to moisture infiltration, especially in areas where Gypsum boards were installed. Coastal regions tend to have high humidity levels, which led to condensation forming on surfaces. This moisture buildup risked the integrity of structural materials, causing potential mold growth and damage to critical components like false ceiling channels. If not addressed, these moisture-related issues could result in expensive repairs, delays, and compromised safety standards.
Solution
The construction company turned to *Brite Self Adhesives* and their customisable DUROFIX Vapour Barrier Membrane Films. These films were specifically chosen for their multi-layer composite structure, providing both vapour and moisture barrier properties. The product was installed over sensitive areas such as Gypsum board surfaces and ceiling channels to effectively block moisture entry while preventing condensation buildup.
DUROFIX films not only provided water repellency but also boasted high tear resistance, making installation easier and ensuring long-lasting protection. The product’s adaptability to custom applications allowed it to be tailored to the project’s unique needs, significantly enhancing its effectiveness.
Results
Post-installation, the construction company observed a marked improvement in moisture control. The vapour barrier films prevented any mold formation and moisture damage, safeguarding the structural materials. This proactive solution ensured the project timeline stayed on track without the risk of costly repairs. The DUROFIX vapour barrier films successfully delivered a durable, easy-to-use, and effective defense against moisture, offering the client peace of mind in their high-humidity construction environment.Â
The product proved to be a valuable asset, contributing to the overall quality and longevity of the buildings.
