SOLITEX ADHERO VISTO
Transparent full-surface adhesive airtightness and weathering-protection membrane
Advantages
- Protects the underlying structure against weathering during the construction phase
- 3 months of outdoor exposure in Central/Northern Europe, Canada and the northern United States (ASHRAE Climate Zones 4-8); 6 weeks in the rest of the world
- Highly transparent: all markings, connectors and notches/recesses on timber floors remain visible
- Excellent occupational safety, even in wet conditions: anti-slip behaviour certified by German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV)
- Water-resistant SOLID adhesive ensures reliable adhesion to the subsurface and within overlap areas
- Acts as a stable separating layer for additional floor structures / timber-concrete composite (TCC) floors
- Improved noise insulation and protection against toxic gases during fires thanks to airtight floor/ceiling structures
Areas of application
Temporary protection for floors during construction
Thanks to its full-surface adhesion, this membrane provides temporary weathering-protection for intermediate floors on multi-storey CLT (cross-laminated timber) or wooden-frame buildings during the construction period.
Planning and construction guidelines
Areas of application
The SOLITEX ADHERO VISTO self-adhesive and airtight weathering-protection membranes can be used:
- for temporary weathering-protection of intermediate floors and wall elements during construction on multi-storey timber-element buildings
- to achieve airtightness on the interior and exterior sides of wood-based materials and mineral subsurfaces
- as a roofing underlay membrane over pressure-resistant subsurfaces
Additional areas of application for SOLITEX ADHERO 1000 and 3000:
- on the exterior side of wooden-frame walls behind ventilated pre-wall shells
- as a nail-sealing pre-underlay over roof sheathing and suitable wood-based panels underneath slate coverings
Use as temporary weathering-protection on timber element structures during construction
SOLITEX ADHERO membranes can be used as temporary weathering-protection for floors/ceilings on multi-storey timber construction projects.
Drainage run-offs that remove water from the intermediate floor and/or building are to be provided so that rainwater does not accumulate on the membrane. Full-surface adhesion prevents moisture from spreading underneath the membrane if the membrane should be damaged during the course of construction.
At element joints and/or joints with wood-based panels, allow for an overlap of at least 10 cm (4″) of SOLITEX ADHERO onto the adjacent element/wood-based panel.
Use to achieve airtightness on walls in timber structures
The SOLITEX ADHERO system can be used to achieve airtightness on timber-element walls (wooden-frame, ‘Brettstapel’ and CLT elements) on the inside and outside. In the case of membranes applied on the exterior in particular, it should be ensured that transitions between the airtightness layer for walls and the airtightness layers of the roof surfaces are sealed. When these membranes are installed on the exterior, they provide additional weathering protection during the construction phase. Full-surface adhesion with the subsurface also ensures that seepage underneath the membranes cannot occur.
Use to achieve airtightness on walls in masonry and concrete structures
Unplastered masonry and concrete walls – e.g. walls consisting of pre-fabricated components – are regarded as not being airtight due to their joints. SOLITEX ADHERO membranes can be applied directly onto the exterior of stable mineral subsurfaces. The SOLITEX ADHERO membrane must be applied onto any adjacent airtight building components in the area around transitions in order to ensure the airtightness of the overall surface.
Use as a rainproof roofing underlay
These membranes may also be used roofing underlay membranes and/or as temporary coverings, in accordance with the locally applicable regulations.
