  • Patent number: 9745737
    Abstract: An insulated building structure, in particular an insulated roof structure or a wall structure of a building, comprises at least one thermal insulation layer. At least one moisture-variable protective layer for the thermal insulation layer is provided on an outer side of the thermal insulation layer and on an inner side of the thermal insulation layer facing a building interior of the building. The protective layers each have a water vapor diffusion equivalent air layer thickness Sd. The water vapor diffusion equivalent air layer thicknesses Sd of the two protective layers deviate from each other by less than 20%, preferably less than 10%, in the range of a relative humidity from 0% to 25% and/or in the range of a relative humidity from 80% to 100%.

  • Publication number: 20170175385
    Abstract: A moisture-variable protective layer is to be used in particular for protecting a thermal insulating layer in insulated building structures, such as roof and/or wall structures of a building. The protective layer has a water vapor diffusion-dependent air layer thickness Sd that is dependent on the ambient humidity. The protective layer at least partly consists of and/or comprises a material that has a water vapor diffusion equivalent air layer thickness Sd of greater than 10 m at a relative humidity of the atmosphere surrounding the protective layer in the range from 0% to 25% and has a water vapor diffusion equivalent air layer thickness Sd of less than 0.4 m at a relative humidity of the atmosphere surrounding the protective layer in the range from 90% to 100%.

  • Patent number: 8808481
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a web (2) comprising at least one protective layer (11, 11a), at least one functional layer (13), and at least one reinforcement layer (14). The reinforcement layer (14) is provided with greater tear strength than the protective layer (11, 11a) while the reinforcement layer (14) is glued to the functional layer (13) or the protective layer (11, 11a). According to the inventive method, the functional layer (13) is welded together with at least one protective layer (11, 11a) on at least one side by means of heat lamination in order to produce a prelaminate (20), and the obtained prelaminate (20) is then glued to the reinforcement layer (14).
