INTELLO
High-Performance Vapour Control Layer
Advantages
- Promotes superior drying capacity with hydrosafe® technology
- Intelligent airtightness system (IAS) for warm, dry, healthy buildings
- Maximises the performance of thermal insulation
- Highly diffusion-resistant in winter
- Superior back-diffusion capacity in summer
Areas of application
INTELLO® is a market leading intelligent air barrier for all construction types, providing superior energy efficiency and moisture control. INTELLO® maximises the performance of thermal insulation while restricting internal moisture from entering the building envelope. INTELLO® utilises hydrosafe® technology, providing optimal protection against structural damage and mould, even in the event of unexpected moisture intrusion.
Operating principle
Maximum protection against mould and moisture damage to structures
INTELLO membranes work on the principle of climate-controlled membranes: they provide a seal against moisture in winter, whereas the molecular structure becomes more open in summer and facilitates drying out in a reliable manner.
Maximum protection against mould and moisture damage to structures
A tried-and-tested principle
INTELLO works on the principle of climate-controlled membranes: the fleece membranes provide a seal against moisture in winter, whereas the molecular structure becomes more open in summer and facilitates drying out in a reliable manner.
The variability of the diffusion resistance of the high-performance INTELLO systems guarantees impressive protection against moisture damage to structures, even on demanding structures that are impermeable to diffusion to the outside such as pitched roofs with sheet metal covering, roofing underlays with asphalt roof membranes, flat roofs and green roofs.
The durability of the humidity-variable properties of INTELLO and INTELLO PLUS has been independently tested and confirmed by a testing institute. They will protect the structure for the whole service life of the building.
Seasonal intelligence
In winter, INTELLO reduce or stop the penetration of moisture into roofs and walls with their sd value of over 25 m (MVTR: > 125 MN·s/g ; vapour permeance < 0.13 US perms) – moisture transport of less than 7 g/m² per week. In summer, the vapour control (alternate term: vapour check) membranes allow water vapour to escape. The sd value of 0.25 m (MVTR: 1.25 MN·s/g ; vapour permeance 13 US perms) corresponds to moisture transport of over 500 g/m² per week – which represents an exceptional drying-out capacity.
Low moisture transport in winter - high degree of drying in summer: unforeseen moisture can dry out of the insulation over and over again, meaning that mould has no chance to form.
This intelligent diffusion adaptation behaviour is designed to be particularly powerful and adheres to pro clima’s reliability philosophy: to achieve the best possible protection against structural damage, the drying reserve must be greater than the largest theoretically possible moisture loading.
With INTELLO, winter building sites are not a problem! With its high hydrosafe® value of over 2 m, it keeps building structures dry – even if there is a lot of moisture arising from new building work in winter.
And with its sd value with a variation of a factor of over 100, INTELLO ensures reliably protected building structures for the whole service life of the building.
