Gerband SD2 Control Airtightness Membrane (1.5m x 50m)
Part Number:
Gerband-SD-Control-Airtight-Membrane
Product Overview
The Gerband SD Control Airtight Membrane is a high-performance vapour control layer (VCL) engineered for internal airtightness in low-energy and Passive House projects. Designed as an upgrade to the Gerband SD2, this next-generation membrane delivers superior tensile strength and elongation, ensuring maximum durability and long-term airtightness in modern building envelopes.
Its advanced multi-layer structure provides optimal vapour diffusion resistance (SD value of 2.3 m ± 0.2 m), helping to regulate internal moisture levels while maintaining the integrity of the building fabric. The membrane is easy to install, compatible with all Gerband adhesive tapes and sealing accessories, and ideal for use on timber-frame, steel-frame, and masonry constructions.
Key Features
- Enhanced tensile strength (≥ 120 N/50 mm lengthwise, ≥ 100 N/50 mm crosswise) for superior durability
- Reliable long-term airtightness when used with Gerband adhesive tapes and sealants
- SD value of 2.3 m ± 0.2 m for optimal moisture regulation and building protection
- High flexibility and elongation (65%) to simplify installation around joints and penetrations
- Suitable for Passive House and low-energy building applications
- Compatible with Gerband airtight system components for full system integrity
