RECOMMENDED COMPONENTS AND ACCESSORIES
Used to allow insulated structures to easily release excess moisture vapour into the atmosphere and keep the internal elements of wall structures dry.
EPDM is an important Benx façade protection layer. It is a synthetic rubber material which is both weather resistant and tear-resistant.
Essential accessories for a wide variety of applications, including sealing of sheathing boards and the durable bonding of breather membranes.
An important element in the way in which Cladding Systems perform under building and dynamic loadings.
