Description

DriStud W11 has a premium white face to increase light diffusion and reflection. It is used to line walls and under roofs with profiled metal cladding for buildings such as commercial and industrial buildings, sports stadia and warehousing facilities where extra clean white finish is required.

DriStud W11 is a fire retardant, fully synthetic, vapour, water barrier and a light diffuser, reflective pliable building membrane with an emittance of .08. It is a laminate of multiple layers with one side polypropylene non-woven and the other surface metallised film. White colour polypropylene non-woven is commonly used however different colour of non-woven facing can be supplied at request.
