Vapour barrier foil
STANDARD ALU
Metallised Eurovent® STANDARD ALU vapour barrier foil is made of a polymer mesh coated on both sides with a protective layer, providing high tear resistance. The upper surface has an additional metallised layer that reflects thermal radiation towards the interior of the room.
Advantages
- Vapour barrier
- Tear-resistant
- Reflects thermal radiation
- Quick and easy installation
Application and Technical Data
Eurovent® STANDARD ALU is used as a vapour barrier layer limiting water vapour migration in wall, floor, attic, roof and ceiling structures. It protects thermal insulation against excessive moisture ingress from inside the building. The metallised surface has reflective properties and, in a suitable layer arrangement, reflects thermal radiation towards the interior of the room.
During installation, Eurovent® ALUFIX tape is recommended for airtight sealing of foil overlaps and connections with structural elements.

System products
For proper and airtight performance of Eurovent® STANDARD ALU, it is recommended to use it together with:
- Eurovent® ALUFIX for durable and airtight sealing of foil overlaps and connections with structural elements,
- Eurovent® sealing tapes for sealing penetration points and any damaged areas,
- highly vapour-permeable Eurovent® roof membranes, supporting moisture evacuation from the roof structure,
- Eurovent® windproof membranes, providing an external protective layer in wall structures.
Using compatible Eurovent® system solutions helps create an airtight and durable layer system and supports the protection of thermal insulation against excessive moisture ingress.
GOOD TO KNOW
What distinguishes STANDARD ALU?
It is a reinforced metallised high-Sd vapour barrier.
Is it the same as AKTIV ALU?
No. They differ in structure and vapour resistance.
Why are several weights available?
To provide different mechanical properties; weight is not the same as vapour resistance.
Does the aluminium layer heat the room?
No. It can influence radiant heat transfer but does not generate heat or replace insulation.
How should overlaps be sealed?
As a continuous airtight layer using compatible tape for metallised surfaces.
