Humidity-variable vapour retarders can have varying resistance to the diffusion of moisture vapour. That\u00b4s how they protect<br \/>\nbuilding elements.<\/p>\n<p>It is important that the spread between humidity-variable vapour resistance values is as large as possible. The reason for this is that a vapour retarder can only offer maximum<br \/>\nprotection if it is as impermeable as possible in winter \u2013 meaning that<br \/>\nlittle moisture vapour can enter into elements.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, it should be very open to diffusion in summer to allow elements to dry out again when necessary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_21483\"  width=\"1170\" height=\"658\"  data-origwidth=\"1170\" data-origheight=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/URLjc6pJIuQ?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the INTELLO SYSTEM with hydrosafe value:<br \/>\n<a class=\"yt-simple-endpoint style-scope yt-formatted-string\" href=\"http:\/\/proclima.com\/systems\/intello\">http:\/\/proclima.com\/systems\/intello<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Any questions?
