More Information
Sepa Solar air barrier and vapour control layer for use on the warm side of the insulation. Designed with a reflective surface to reduce heat loss through the roof, It features exceptional vapour resistance that exceeds BS 9250 requirements (Code of Practice for the design of the airtightness of ceilings in pitched roofs). Whilst it can be used with other Klober airtightness products to minimise energy loss and provides an R-Value of 0.5m2 K/W in the winter when used with a 20mm service void. The air barrier and vapour control layer prevents large volumes of water vapour from entering a construction from the interior, particularly during the drying-out period, whilst providing additional support for insulation boards or quilts.
For clarification consideration must be given to the intended use and height of the building based on the fact that the reaction to fire performance of the product is Class F in accordance with EN 13501-1. For further information contact your Principle Designer, the relevant Building Control Authority or the relevant guidance document such as Approved Document B for England.

Installation
- Before Sepa Solar is installed, check the moisture content of the timbers is less than 20%. Fix on the warm side of the installation and rafters with the printed smoother surface facing inwards
- At either edge of the structure, leave a 150mm overlap to allow Wallint 50 to be sealed to adjoining walls
- Roll-out with a horizontal headlap of 150mm. Fix to rafters/ceiling joists using non-corrosive fixings eg staples. Ensurelaps are sealed using a tape such as Permo TR
- Where pipes pass through use a Klober Pipe Sealing Collar and tape edges to Wallint 50 to achieve an airtight seal
- Sepa Solar should cover the entire internal timber frame area of the rooms in the roof and, where applicable, link with vapourcontrol layer in the wall below to form a continuous air barrier
Area of application
- The inner face of an insulated roof, wall* or ceiling, including timber frame
- Suitable for cold and warm roofs
