Product range

The Monarflex product portfolio for wind barriers covers most of the needs for different applications ranging from ordinary houses with wooden facades to slightly open steel facades, where sun light in some cases can shines directly on to the wind barrier

The Monarflex portfolio covers a range of wind barriers,  from the traditional paper/polyethylene based product that is perforated, to the new and more sophisticated coated breather membranes of poly-propylene and acrylic coating:

• MONARFLEX® Decofol (Tetofol)
• MONARFLEX® SP400
• MONARPERM® Fassade

All the materials used to produce the Monarflex vapour control layers are from virgin materials, hence no recycled material is used.

Choose the right product
When choosing the right product for the job, it is very important to remember that the wind barrier has the same function as a roof underlay, only it is installed in the wall instead of the roof.  This means that the wind barrier is installed on the cold side (the side that turns towards the exterior wall) of the insulation material.

The following conditions most be evaluated before choosing the correct product:

• What kind of exterior façade is used
• Is it a long duration job – installing the exterior façade
• It is an open façade structure

What can Monarflex offer to suit the right choice?

- Traditional wind barrier for closed wooden or steel facades.
    o Use the MONARFLEX® Decofol (Tetofol)

-  Long duration of construction period of the façade before closing off to the wind barrier, it is recommended to use the very watertight non perforated breather membrane.
    o Use the MONARFLEX® SP400

- Open facade structures, where the exterior façade is slightly open in the joints and potentially could allow a very limited amount of direct sunlight to hit the wind barrier
    o Use the MONARPERM® Fassade

Importance of application
In order to get the optimal protection out of the Monarflex wind barrier it is extremely important to recognise that the installation and the role that the accessories play is  just as important as the wind barrier itself. By using the different Monarflex tape accessories a total system is formed, which will assist the wind barrier in being the best possible protection for the insulation material, please see our tape options at accessories for our vapour control layers.
