Resistance to humidity
Water vapour production in a building depends on the number of occupants, room use, ventilation and the heating system.
High levels of humidity can be the cause of numerous problems, such as mould, condensation and poor air quality, which affect occupants’ health and the sustainability of the building.
Pladur® provides solutions to maintain excellent performance in areas of high humidity:
- Its water-resistant boards, which maintain their properties in the presence of humidity (Pladur H1, Omnia, Ultra L-Tec H1, Magna H1, Cementex).
- The quality of the system components and their protection (galvanised profiles, watertight seals, etc.),
- And the recommended assembly method, all of which guarantee watertight sealing and protection of the components to ensure the good performance and qualities of the system (Wall lining panels, partitions and ceilings)
