Elevate has a 40-year legacy of proven experience in roofing solutions that perform reliably and protect communities. Introducing the V-Gard vapor control membrane, designed to be used as a vapor control layer in Elevate roofing systems.
It consists of reinforced aluminum foil with self-adhesive bituminous backing protected by a release film. The fiberglass reinforcement provides high strength to the membrane, which guarantees excellent mechanical performance. This reinforcement also makes it resistant to foot traffic and suitable for applications that involve high mechanical stresses.
Product Benefits
- Vapor resistance: the vapor resistance value is expressed by an Sd (equivalent air layer thickness) of >1,500 m. It is therefore suitable for most roofs.
- Resistant to foot traffic: the engineered composition of V-Gard provides high resistance to static loading and dynamic impact. Its strong physical properties make it suitable for direct application onto metal decks, limiting the risk of tears caused by foot traffic.
- Safe and easy to install: the installation of V-Gard is part of a single-ply concept, it is a 100% cold and user-friendly process that does not require an open flame. It can adhere using primer to most substrates such as concrete, plywood, OSB, and metal decks.
- Substrate for attaching insulation with PU adhesives: the treated surface of V-Gard is ideal for the adhesion of insulation boards when mechanical fastening to the deck is not an option.
- Efficient air barrier: V-Gard can be adhered to almost any substrate, even brick walls, minimizing air leaks and contributing to the overall energy efficiency of the building.
- Adhesion: V-Gard achieves excellent wind uplift performance on different roof substrates.
- Preprinted overlap marking: the overlap marking printed on both sides of the V-Gard membrane further facilitates installation.
- One-source supplier: the use of V-Gard ensures a compatible design and high-quality performance where all roofing components are supplied and warranted by one manufacturer.
- Minimal packaging: each roll of V-Gard comes in a belly band wrap, which minimizes waste.
