Enhanced Building Technology
Fielders ShieldGuard™ is a 3-layer, vapour permeable membrane designed for commercial and residential walling applications. This membrane provides an effective barrier to the effects of weathering and resists the passage of water, dust, and other particles into the building substructure.
The breathable membrane is designed to provide dependable moisture control, an essential component in maintaining the durability and integrity of buildings. By allowing moisture to escape while preventing water ingress, the membrane helps protect structures from mould, mildew, and other moisture-related issues.
To ensure the maximum performance of the Fielders ShieldGuard™ system, Fielders supplies the Double-Sided Tape and Jointing Tape that have been specifically designed to support the correct installation of the membrane.
Key Features and Benefits
- Moisture Control: The breathable membrane effectively manages moisture within the building envelope, reducing the risk of condensation and subsequent mould and mildew growth. This contributes to a healthier indoor environment and preserves the structural integrity of buildings.
- UV Resistant: Provides up to 3 months of full UV exposure protection, supporting a flexible installation schedule.
- Weather Resistance: Designed to withstand a variety of weather conditions, the breathable membrane provides a robust barrier against external elements such as rain and wind. This ensures reliable protection for the building envelope in diverse climates.
- Durability: The breathable membrane protects building materials from moisture damage, extending the lifespan of the building envelope components. This durability translates to lower maintenance costs and long-term savings for property owners.
- Easy Installation and Compatibility: The breathable membrane is easy to install using standard construction methods and is compatible with a range of building materials and systems, including the steel walling products manufactured by Fielders.
- Warranty: Fielders ShieldGuard™ is supported by a 12-year product warranty.
