ProctorWrap Corners from Dynamic Composite Technologies


proctor wrapshield corners vapour - permeable factory formed window

ProctorWrap Corners are factory formed from a robust 3-ply polypropylene textile to protect the building fabric and insulation from moisture ingress for the life of the building and during construction. Unlike non vapour permeable products, such as foils, tapes, bitumen based membranes and other sealants, ProctorWrap Corners are highly vapour permeable to let your building breathe.

ProctorWrap Corners are made using a unique welding process in the UK to a patented design for ease of installation. In addition to keeping out wind driven rain and drafts, the material permits vapour to escape without reaching dew point thus preventing condensation and related problems such as mould, timber rot, corrosion and loss of thermal resistance of the insulation.

Why window surrounds have moisture related problems?

  • Window surrounds are difficult to insulate - thermal bridging
  • Condensate from the windows often leaks into the structure
  • Window surrounds are at risk from wind driven rain ingress
  • Durability of sealants is finite
  • Different materials expand and contract at different rates leading long term to gaps, poor air tightness and reduced water holdout
  • Windows need to be opened & closed
  • Moisture ingress from outside - from wind driven rain
  • Moisture ingress from inside - condensation

Why use ProctorWrap Flashing factory formed corners?

  • Factory assured quality assurance
  • Save on labour (over 50% saving experienced by US installers)
  • Get a 100% seal right first time, every time
  • Eliminates measure and cut errors during installation
  • Reduce on-site quality control
  • A solution to a problem that lasts a lifetime
  • High vapour permeability
  • High water holdout (over 3m head of water)
  • An air barrier, yet vapour permeable
