Wall Sarking Selection with Network Architectural

Wondering if you've chosen the right wall sarking? For those in doubt, industry specialists Network Architectural have prepared a quick guide for specifiers to effectively choose the right wall membrane for your next building or construction project.

Wall sarking, also known as 'wall wrap', is a flexible, pliable membrane applied on walls to protect them from the elements and facilitate higher insulation capabilities. As a rule of thumb, your wall sarking selection should depend on the construction certificate that has been approved for your project.

For those with a 2016 Construction Site Certificate, you need a heavy-duty wall wrap suitable for non-combustible external wall construction, like the Bradford Thermoseal Firespec from Network Architectural. It comes with single-sided reflective foil and woven e-glass fabric laminate, which acts as a vapour and water barrier.

If you have the latest construction certificate as per, NCC 2019, which now includes sarking-type exclusions, opt for wall sarking with higher vapour permeable membranes. For these projects, check out the Enviroseal RW for residential applications, or Enviroseal CW for commercial. These wall sarkings can help overcome condensation issues, reducing related risks to building occupants.
