Vapour panels are designed for use in areas where warm and cold elements of the ceilings and walls join. It also provides a layer of water vapour control as well as a plasterboard lining in one application, making this product a 3-in-1. Common areas for foil-backed plasterboards include walls that are at risk of damp and mould, and pitched roofs and ceilings that may have more exposure to the elements such as rain. With foil plasterboards, if a leak should happen it will not penetrate the plasterboard or cause damage to the building’s interior.
