Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a water vapour barrier of the type used in building structures such as roof or wall structures. It is well known to use such vapour barriers in the form of plastic films or other sheet materials between a roof or wall structure and a ceiling or wall covering of a room in a building.
  • the roof or wall structure defines cavities therein which are totally or partly filled with a heat insulating material. Due to for example leakage and/or water vapour condensation caused by variation in temperature moisture may accumulate in the cavities of the roof or wall structure, and such moisture may cause corrosion of structural elements of metal and fungus or rot attack on structural elements of wood.
  • the international patent application No. WO-A-96/33321 discloses a water vapour barrier for use in heat insulation of buildings.
  • This known vapour barrier is in the form of a plastic film or a membrane of the type having a water vapour diffusion resistance, which varies in dependency of the relative moisture of surrounding air. This means that when the relative moisture within the roof or wall structure is high, the diffusion resistance of the vapour barrier will be low - typically a diffusion resistance equivalent to 0.2 m air column (according to DIN 52 615) - so that moisture from the cavities of the roof or wall structure may diffuse through the vapour barrier and into the room of the building.
  • the diffusion resistance of the vapour barrier will be higher, typically equivalent to 2 m air column - but a substantial amount of water vapour may diffuse from the room of the building into the roof or wall structure, which is undesirable.
  • this known vapour barrier is water tight, which means that free water which may have leaked into cavities of the roof or wall structure is collected therein and can only very slowly diffuse or condense in the summer through the vapour barrier after having been vaporised.
  • the European patent No. EP-A-0148870 discloses a vapour barrier formed by a pair of vapour impervious plastic films made from polyethylene, and an intermediate water absorbing layer.
  • the oppositely arranged vapour impervious plastic films have through openings defined therein. However, the openings in the opposite plastic films are offset or displaced in relation to each other.
  • This known vapour barrier structure allows vapour to dry out through the barrier via condensation and by capillary action and the vapour diffusion resistance is dependent on the character of the intermediate layer of water absorbing material and on the minimum spacings of adjacent openings in the opposite vapour impervious plastic films.
  • This known water vapour barrier also allows free water accumulated within cavities of a roof or wall structure to be drained through the vapour barrier by capillary action.
  • vaporised moisture may dry out from the roof or wall structure through the vapour barrier via condensation and capillary action into an inner room of the building only when the relative humidity and the temperature difference between the roof or wall structure and the vapour barrier is such that vapour is condensed on the intermediate layer of water absorbing material which is exposed at the openings defined in the outer plastic film.
  • the roof or wall structure may dry out only when there is a sufficiently fall of temperature in the roof or wall structure, such that the temperature outside is higher than the temperature in the room or inner space of the building.
  • the present invention provides an improved vapour barrier of the latter type.
  • the present invention provides a water vapour barrier comprising a first, water impervious membrane having a plurality of first through openings defined therein, a second, water impervious membrane arranged opposite to the first membrane, and water absorbing material being arranged within one or more spaces being defined between the first and second membranes, and the vapour barrier according to the invention is characterised in that at least part of said second membrane is of a material of the type having a water vapour diffusion resistance, which varies in dependency of the relative humidity of air in contact therewith, such that the vapour diffusion resistance is reduced when the relative humidity increases, and vice versa.
  • the second membrane may have a plurality of second through openings defined therein, and the first through openings in the first membrane may be offset in relation to the second through openings in the second membrane, or the first and second openings may be placed opposite to each other.
  • the water vapour barrier may be arranged such that the first membrane, which is impervious to water, is facing the room of the building while the second membrane through which water vapour may diffuse is facing outwardly towards the building structure.
  • moisture may be removed from a roof or wall structure or another similar building structure not only by draining of free water and by removing condensed water vapour by capillary action like the known vapour barrier, but also by diffusion.
  • the vapour barrier according to the invention is much more efficient in drying cavities or spaces in building structures, which may partly or totally be filled with insulating material; than any of the known vapour barriers.
  • the water vapour barrier according to the invention may be reversed arranged such that the first membrane, which is impervious to water, is facing outwardly towards the building structure, while the second membrane through which water vapour may diffuse is facing the room of the building.
  • the first membrane may be of the type having a water vapour diffusion resistance varying in dependency of the relative humidity of the ambient atmosphere.
  • the first membrane is substantially impervious not only to water, but also to water vapour.
  • the water absorbing material may, for example, be arranged within a plurality of pockets or spaces which are formed between the first and second membrane, and each of which interconnects one or more of said first openings in the first membrane with one or more of said second openings formed in the second membrane.
  • the first and second membranes are connected to opposite sides of said water absorbing material, which is in the form of an intermediate layer, and the first through openings in the first membrane are offset in relation to the second through openings in the second membrane.
  • the characteristics of the water absorbing material forming the intermediate layer, the minimum spacing between adjacent first and second openings in the opposite first and second membranes, and the thickness of the intermediate layer may be chosen so as to obtain a desired draining effect and a desired resistance against moisture transmission from the first to the second openings by capillary action. It has been found that the thickness of the intermediate layer of water absorbing material should preferably be 0.2-1.5 mm.
  • the second openings cover a substantially larger area of the surface of the water absorbing material than the first openings, so that the vapour barrier is more open from the side where the second membrane is fastened, and thereby provides that the vapour or water is easier transported in a direction from the second membrane to the first membrane, due to the lower diffusion resistance of one side of the vapour barrier, and thereby a more rectified transport of the vapour or water in the vapour barrier is obtained.
  • the first through openings may cover a substantially larger area of the surface of the water absorbing material than the second through openings, so that the vapour barrier is more open from the side where the first membrane is fastened.
  • the intermediate layer may be formed by any suitably water absorbing material, such as a porous, moisture resistant material.
  • the intermediate layer is a fibrous material and may comprise modified natural or man-made fibres, such as modified cellulose fibres or plastic fibres which may, for example, be impregnated with a fungicide.
  • the intermediate layer is formed by a mixture of plastic fibres, such as polypropylene and acrylic fibres.
  • the fibres may have a core, which is hydrophobic, and an outer surface which is hydrophilic.
  • the weight of the intermediate layer is 50-100 g/m 2 .
  • the first membrane is, of course, not totally impervious to water vapour, but should preferably show a vapour diffusion resistance being equivalent to at least 10 m air column at any moisture conditions.
  • the water vapour diffusion resistance of the first membrane which is said to be substantially impervious to water vapour, should be equivalent to 10-100 m air column at any relative humidity of air in contact therewith, but the water vapour diffusion resistance may also be equivalent to 2000 m air column or even higher depending on the chosen material, e.g., metal foils.
  • the first membrane could be formed in situ, for example by spraying the membrane in a liquid condition on one side surface of the intermediate layer of water absorbing material.
  • the first membrane is a film or foil made from a plastic or a metallic material, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, poly-vinyliden-chloride, coated films of metals, such as aluminium laminates, aluminium or an alloy thereof.
  • the first membrane comprises a polyethylene film having a weight of 20-100 g/m 2 , preferably 30-80 g/m 2 .
  • the thickness of the first membrane is 10-200 ⁇ m, such as 40-100 ⁇ m.
  • the water vapour diffusion resistance of the second membrane is preferably equivalent to at least 2 m air column at a relative humidity of 20-50% and less than 1 m air column at a relative humidity of 60-100% of air in contact with the membrane. This means that when the water absorbing material is moist or the air within the water absorbing material has a high relative humidity the resistance against moisture diffusion from the water absorbing material through the second membrane and into the inner space or room of the building is low. Consequently, moisture may be removed from the cavities or spaces in the roof or wall structure relatively quickly. However, in winter time when the relative humidity on the side of the vapour barrier facing outwardly is lower than the relative humidity of the air inside the building, the resistance against diffusion of water vapour from the inner space or room of the building into the roof or wall structure is relatively high.
  • the water vapour diffusion resistance of the second membrane is even higher and may be equivalent to at least 5 m air column or even higher, such as up to 60 m air column, at a relative humidity of 20-50%. Furthermore, the water vapour diffusion resistance of the second membrane may be equivalent to less than 0.5 m air column, and preferably about 0.1 m or less at a relative humidity of 60-100% of air in contact with the membrane, whereby the moisture transmission capacity of the vapour barrier is increased substantially.
  • the thickness of the second membrane is 10-100 ⁇ m, such as 10-60 ⁇ m.
  • the water vapour diffusion resistance of the vapour barrier may be equivalent to at least 0.2 m air column at a relative humidity of 60-100% or even higher, such as up to 100 m air column at a relative humidity of 20-50%.
  • the vapour barrier dries out moisture by diffusion, and when the relative humidity is 100%, the vapour barrier removes condensed water vapour by capillary action and free water by draining the free water, as the vapour diffusion resistance drops to approximately 0.05 m air column when the relative humidity reaches 100%, e.g., in the summer period.
  • the vapour barrier according to the invention is much more efficient in drying cavities or spaces in building structures than known vapour barriers, as it is able to dry both by diffusion, condensation and drainage.
  • the vapour diffusion resistance of the vapour barrier may be up to 100 m air column, and the vapour barrier may then substantially prevent vapour from diffusing from the room through the barrier and into the roof or wall structure, and it thereby prevents a moisture accumulation in the structure.
  • At least part of the second membrane may be made from any of the known materials having a water vapour diffusion resistance which is dependent on the relative humidity of air in contact therewith, for example the materials disclosed in the above mentioned international application WO-A-96/33321.
  • the second membrane may comprise any of the following materials or any combinations thereof, namely polyamide, ethylene-vinyl alcohol-copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol, polyurethane, protein derivatives, methylcellulose, linseed oil alkyd, cellophane, and bone glue. Some of these materials are suitably made in the form of a film which is adhered to or laminated with the intermediate layer of water absorbing material.
  • the materials mentioned may be formed into the second membrane by being applied to, for example sprayed onto a side surface of the intermediate layer of water absorbing material in a liquid condition.
  • the at least part of the second membrane constitute approximately 5-20% of the entire surface area of the vapour barrier, so as to obtain a preferred water vapour diffusion resistance of the vapour barrier.
  • An adhesive for adhering the first and/or second membrane to the layer of water absorbing material may be provided on the membrane(s) by coextruding the membrane(s) with the adhesive when producing the membrane(s).
  • the adhesive may have perforations for retaining the permeability of the water vapour barrier in the adhering areas.
  • a preferred embodiment of the vapour barrier according to the invention further comprises a moisture distributing outer layer of water absorbing material which may be connected to the outer surface of the first and/or second membrane.
  • Such moisture distributing layer may efficiently absorb and distribute free leakage water or condensed vapour and transfer such water to the water absorbing material, which is positioned between the first and second membranes and exposed at the openings formed in the first membrane.
  • This outer layer of water absorbing material may be of any suitable type, for example of the same type as that used in the water absorbing intermediate layer.
  • the outer layer of water absorbing material may be a fibrous, felt-like material, which may, for example, contain a mixture of plastic fibres.
  • the thickness of this outer layer is preferably rather small, for example less than 0.5 mm and preferably about 0.1 mm.
  • the weight of the outer layer is 10-20 g/m 2 .
  • the first and/or second membrane may be formed as a continuous layer extending along the entire length of the vapour barrier.
  • the vapour barrier may comprise first and/or second membrane(s) being formed as continuous layers, so as to obtain a vapour barrier having a higher diffusion resistance.
  • the first and/or second membranes may be continuous films or foils in which a plurality of openings, which may have any suitable contour, such as circular, elliptical, triangular or rectangular, are formed.
  • the total area of the openings in the first and second membranes may be different, thus, as an example the total area of the openings in the second membrane may exceed the area of the openings in the first membrane.
  • the openings in the first and/or second membrane may comprise perforations with a closeness being between 200-600 holes per dm 2 .
  • the perforations constitute 1-20% of the entire area of the membrane, such as 2-15%.
  • the perforations may be placed in preferred patterns or randomly in the membrane.
  • the diameter of the holes may be between 0.5-10 mm, and the perforations may be punched or rolled in the membrane, e.g., by flame-rolling the holes.
  • the perforations in the first membrane may be offset in relation to the perforations in the second membrane, or the perforations in the first membrane may be positioned opposite to the perforations in the second membrane.
  • first and second membranes are formed by mutual parallel, transversely spaced first and second bands or strips, respectively, and the first and second openings in the first and second membranes, respectively, are then defined between adjacent first and second bands, respectively.
  • the first and second openings do not mutually overlap, but should be offset.
  • the minimum spacing between first and second openings, which are defined in the first and second membranes, respectively is about 20 mm in order to obtain a sufficient resistance against the capillary transmission of water from a first opening in the first membrane to and adjacent second opening in the second membrane.
  • the first and second bands may be perforated with perforations as described above.
  • each of the second bands may have a width exceeding the width of a corresponding strip-like space between adjacent first bands, so that such second band overlaps not only such space in the first membrane, but also adjacent rim portions of said adjacent first bands.
