Vapour control foil
STANDARD N
Reinforced Eurovent® STANDARD N vapour control foil is made of a polymer mesh coated on both sides with a protective layer, providing high tear resistance. It is used as a vapour control layer in roof, wall and ceiling structures. It protects thermal insulation against excessive penetration of water vapour and moisture from inside the building.
Advantages
- Vapour control
- Tear-resistant
- Quick and easy installation
Application and Technical Data
Reinforced Eurovent® STANDARD N vapour control foil is used as a vapour control layer protecting thermal insulation against excessive penetration of water vapour and moisture in ceiling, pitched and flat roof, and wall structures. It can be installed parallel or perpendicular to the rafters, directly on the thermal insulation.
During installation, Eurovent® DUO or Eurovent® UNO tapes are recommended for airtight sealing of foil overlaps and connections with structural elements, depending on the type of detail.

System products
For proper and airtight performance of Eurovent® STANDARD N vapour control foil, it is recommended to use it together with:
- Eurovent® sealing and adhesive tapes, enabling durable and airtight sealing of foil overlaps and connections with structural elements,
- highly vapour-permeable Eurovent® roof membranes, supporting moisture evacuation from the roof structure to the outside,
- Eurovent® windproof membranes, providing an external protective layer in wall structures and supporting moisture evacuation from the wall build-up.
Using compatible Eurovent® system solutions helps create an airtight and durable layer system and supports proper protection of thermal insulation against excessive moisture migration from inside the building.
GOOD TO KNOW
When is conventional STANDARD N foil used?
As a vapour control layer in appropriately designed roofs, walls and ceilings that require a foil with fixed vapour resistance.
How does it differ from active CLIMA membranes?
STANDARD N is not a membrane with actively changing diffusion properties. It is a conventional solution with a defined Sd value.
Can STANDARD N remain exposed as a finishing layer?
No. It is part of the assembly and should be protected by subsequent layers in accordance with the design.
Why must overlaps be taped?
Leaks allow moist air to pass through to a much greater extent than diffusion through the foil itself.
Is STANDARD N suitable for every attic?
No. The appropriate Sd value must be selected to suit all the roof layers and the conditions of use in the rooms.
