Intello Plus

Sustainable design and construction to achieve Low Energy, PassivHaus and Zero Carbon homes are now at the forefront of the building and planning process. Codes and standards are in place which aim to reduce carbon emissions and create homes that are healthier and more sustainable. The only way to achieve PassivHaus, Low Carbon and Zero Carbon building is to ensure a high level of airtightness is attained.

That means designing and installing a continuous seal around the internal fabric of the external envelope to eliminate unwanted draughts. Once the airtight vapour check is in place and sealed with pro clima’s flexible and durable tapes, seals and glues, it ensures that the insulation functions to its optimum performance, saving energy and drastically reducing carbon emissions for the lifetime of the building.

The pro clima range of airtight building systems offer an ‘Intelligent’ option. This differs greatly from conventional Vapour Barriers and vapour Checks as the membranes may become more vapour ‘diffusion open’ when required. This means that they have the ability to alter their diffusion resistance depending on the average relative humidity surrounding the vapour check, thus ensuring that interstitial condensation risk is minimised, ensuring no structural damage from moisture, mould, rot and damp.

pro clima INTELLO® PLUS features humidity-variable diffusion resistance. It gives maximum protection to thermal insulation where moisture entry may have occurred. This may be through leaks, damp building materials or diffusion through adjoining structural surfaces. Intello plus possesses the world’s best and most effective variable diffusion resistance.

This ensures optimum protection for all fibrous insulating materials in all constructions, whether they are vapour diffusion permeable or vapour diffusion resistant externally such as Pitched Roofs with bitumen sheeting or metal sheet roofing, Flat Roofs and walls with a diffusion resistant exterior cladding.

Provides optimum protection for all thermal Insulation Systems in roofs, walls and floors.
Offers high diffusion tightness in winter and maximum diffusion openness in summer.
In winter, its high diffusion resistance provides ideal protection for the building’s structure against condensation.
In summer, its low diffusion resistance facilitates rapid drying.
It is translucent, easy to install, fully recyclable.
It offers the ideal solution to structures that are difficult to protect against condensation e.g. flat roofs, flexible metal sheeting, etc.
INTELLO PLUS provides lasting protection from mould growth, which protects the health of the occupants and structural durability.
Meets with the durability requirements of EN 13984.
Has a very high nail tear resistance due to reinforcing layer.
In July 2015 it was confirmed that pro clima Intelligent Airtightness system, including the pro clima INTELLO PLUS intelligent airtightness and vapour control membrane, had met all the requirements set out by both the BBA (British Board of Agrément) and the NHBC (See Benefits section below).

BBA is the UK’s major authority, offering approval and inspection services to manufacturers, installers, construction products and systems. BBA certification is only awarded after systems or products have successfully passed a broad assessment involving laboratory testing, on-site evaluations and production inspections.
