Pro Clima Solitex Fronta Quattro is a high-performance windproof breather membrane designed for use behind open-jointed cladding systems. It's a solid black, non-branded finish that ensures a discreet and attractive look, with the membrane visible through your cladding. Engineered for exceptional UV and heat resistance, Solitex Fronta Quattro maintains its integrity even under prolonged exposure to the sun. This robust membrane can be left uncovered for up to six months during construction, making it ideal as a temporary roof layer or as a layer before external cladding is fitted to walls.
Application Areas
- Open-Jointed cladding timber-frame systems
- Over external wood fibre insulation on Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) walls
Pro Clima Solitex Fronta Quattro is purpose-built for exterior use on timber frame constructions and is also suitable for application over external wood fibre insulation on Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) walls. Featuring a plain, unmarked black surface, it’s the perfect choice for projects requiring a membrane behind open-jointed cladding, ensuring a seamless look where the membrane shows through the cladding gaps.
Solitex Fronta Quattro works with open-jointed cladding systems featuring gaps up to 35mm wide, provided each cladding board is at least three times the width of the gap. For optimal performance, maintain a minimum ventilation gap of 20 mm between this UV-stable membrane and the cladding.
Use Tescon Invis airtight tape to connect the membrane overlaps, with its black, UV-resistant surface blending into the membrane and becoming invisible behind the cladding.
Functionality
Solitex Fronta Quattro stands out for its exceptional durability, featuring a thicker and heavier top layer compared to Solitex Fronta WA. This enhanced construction delivers superior defence against driven wind and rain, UV rays, and solar heat—making it the ideal solution for open-jointed cladding installations.
Fronta Quattro delivers complete windtightness and breathability. Its advanced non-porous monolithic TEEE layer ensures excellent outward moisture transfer, outstanding resistance to ageing, and reliable thermal stability for the building envelope.
Pro Clima Solitex Fronta Quattro can withstand exposure to the elements, including UV and adverse weather, for up to six months during construction. Cladding must be fitted after this period to guarantee long-term protection.
Advantages
- The plain black membrane stays hidden behind open cladding, keeping your project looking clean and tidy.
- Edge lines help you seal overlaps neatly and disappear once taped, making installation easy and neat.
- Strong UV protection means the membrane lasts a long time behind cladding and can be used as a temporary cover during building.
- The three-layer membrane with a TEEE core is fully windproof but allows water vapour to escape, protecting your building.
