Absorbs moisture

Hunton Windproof has hygroscopic properties, which means that it absorbs and emits moisture in line with the relative humidity of the air.

Reduces cold bridges

All walls will always have areas with poorer thermal insulation – such as over studs. Using Hunton Windproof will reduce cold bridges due to our product’s additional insulating properties. 12 mm Windproof corresponds to almost 10 mm of standard mineral wool, which gives a reduction in U-value of 0.01W/m2K. This makes it easier to meet building requirements for walls using simple measures for walls in low-energy passive house.

Bias tape is normally not needed

Hunton Windproof provides good wind bracing – in fact, it is so good that bias tape normally is not necessary. This simplifies the the building proces and makes installation more efficient.
Our wind resistance capacities are stated in our Technical Approval.
