AirOutshield UV is made specifically for open joint cladding systems where the membrane will be visible and resistance to long term UV exposure is needed. AirOutshield UV is installed as an air barrier, secondary drainage plane or sheathing membrane in open joint cladding systems including wood, fibre cement or metal. AirOutshield UV features high breathability rate which allows moisture within the wall system to dry rapidly. AirOutshield UV resists UV that penetrates through cladding systems and tested in accordance with DIN EN 13859-1 European standards. AirOutshield UV is water resistant therefore moisture entering the wall system is quickly diverted before it can damage insulation and other components. AirOutshield UV is durable by being tear, rip and puncture resistant which reduces repairs and related labor costs. AirOutshield UV is a polyester which provides superior resistance to the high temperatures associated with typical dark colored cladding systems. AirOutshield UV is black with no printing on the exterior providing an enhanced aesthetics for open cladding systems
