WEATHER DEFENCE

  • WEATHER DEFENCE

ADVANTAGES

  • Dimensionally stable, reliable airtightness
  • Quick and easy to cut and install saving time and reducing installed cost
  • Water, weather and mould resistant, can now be left installed and exposed for up to 12 months on site before you need to complete the final cladding
  • No need for cutting area, power tools or dust extractor
  • Can eliminate the need for breathable membrane saving time and reducing installed cost

 

 

 

 

External Gypsum Sheathing Board

Weather Defence is a revolutionary new external linings board, faced with water repellent material for superior weather protection. Strong, highly moisture resistant and non-combustible compliant. Weather Defence is a faster way to a weathertight building compared to traditional rigid air barrier board products.

Weather Defence is an award-winning gypsum external sheathing board which is transforming building envelope construction and performance

HEALTH & SAFETY

No special precautions are required. However, to avoid potential for dust generation exists, please wear appropriate personal protection gear (safety goggles, protective clothing and dust mask). For more information please check the material safety data sheet, available upon request.

A health and safety data sheet is available from Promat and, as with any other material, should be read before working with the board.

WASTE DISPOSAL

The board is not classified as a dangerous substance so no special provisions are required regarding the transportation and the disposal of the product to landfill. They can be placed in on-site rubbish skips with other general building waste which should then be disposed by a registered contractor in the appropriate and approved manner.
