Moisture control is a critical factor in the longevity and comfort of any living space, especially in static caravans, lodges, and luxury mobile homes built to the latest BS 3632 standards.
At Lambson Innovate, our advanced vapour barrier technology is designed to significantly reduce vapour transmission from inside a building into its external walls and insulation, helping protect structures and insulation, and increase the comfort of those inside.
What Is Vapour Barrier Technology?
Vapour barrier technology is an innovative enhancement available for most laminated panels. Its main purpose is to:
- Control moisture, preventing excess vapour from entering wall structures.
- Protect insulation, ensuring thermal efficiency is maintained over time.
- Enhance durability, reducing the risk of condensation-related damage.
Our panels incorporate a unique foil layer, created and developed to suit our manufacturing methods. This is positioned either behind the board or beneath the decorative surface, depending on installation needs. This construction ensures compliance with BS 3632 thermal insulation and vapour barrier performance requirements, while meeting standards for structural integrity and living comfort.
Lambson Vapour Shield (LVS): Next Generation Vapour Control for the Leisure Industry
The Lambson Vapour Shield (LVS) system represents a major step forward in vapour control technology within the Leisure Industry.
Key benefits include:
- Seamless integration: No need to alter existing production or assembly processes.
- Versatile compatibility: Works with all board and panel products.
- Substrate flexibility: Suitable for plywood, MDF, Eco-Fibre Tech, and more.
- High performance: Vapour resistance exceeding 1000 MNs/g.
- Certified quality: UKAS accredited, tested to EN 1931 Water Vapour Transmission Standards.
With LVS, manufacturers can maintain their current workflows while achieving exceptional vapour resistivity.
Lambson Vapour Shield – Reflective (LVS-R): Vapour Control Plus Thermal Enhancement
LVS-R builds on the LVS system by adding thermal performance improvements.
By controlling thermal values and using air gaps between the reflective surface and internal wall insulation, LVS-R helps conserve heat and add to thermal values without increasing wall thickness, making it an ideal choice for energy-efficient homes.
Technical specifications:
- Vapour resistance exceeding 1000 MNs/g.
- Emissivity value: 0.05 (0.665 m²K/W).
- UKAS accredited to EN 1931 standards.
- Available across Lambson’s panel range (excluding Eco-Fibre Tech).
LVS-R requires specific adhesive solutions to ensure optimal performance, but our technical team will work with you to ensure you select the right adhesive for your project.
Take the next step towards more resilient homes
