ME501 Duo Window Membrane HD
Class W1 Window Sealing Membrane (EPDM Alternative)
ME501 is a high strength, tear resistant membrane made from polyethylene copolymer film with non-woven fabric. It can be applied before or after window installation to suit on-site details and programming. It is also available with gasket options for fixing to window profiles. The product meets the recommendations of the RAL Quality Assurance Association for windows and doors. Successfully tested by MPA Hannover to EN1026 (airtightness) & EN1027 (weathertightness). The membrane is attached to the window with SP525 adhesive, enhanced ‘acrylic adhesive +’ strip, or integral gasket and to the construction reveal material with SP525 adhesive. Self adhesive version (ME501VV) also available.

Usage/purpose
ME501 provides a high performance seal to the perimeter joint between the window/curtain wall and the construction reveal. Due to the intelligent, variable vapour permeability (sd value), when used in an internal UK (warm) environment, it will be vapour-tight, and when used in an external UK (cold) environment it will be vapour open. This means that the membrane is suitable for interior and exterior use providing an air-tight and weather-tight seal whilst always complying with inside tighter than outside principles.
