It forms a protective barrier between the warm, humid air inside the building and the insulation surrounding the roof window, helping to reduce the risk of moisture reaching the insulation material.\n\nMoisture on the surface of insulation can significantly reduce its thermal insulation performance. By helping prevent warm, humid air from reaching the insulation, the XDS Air Tight Barrier contributes to a more effective and properly sealed roof window installation.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImproved Airtightness Around the Roof Window\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe XDS is installed internally around the roof window opening to create a continuous airtight barrier. The sheeting is designed to fit into a dedicated groove in the roof window frame, helping create a close and flush connection between the window and the surrounding roof sheeting.\n\nThis design helps minimise unwanted air gaps around the window installation. By improving the airtightness of the roof window opening, the XDS can contribute to a more comfortable indoor environment and help protect the surrounding insulation from warm, humid air.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick and Straightforward Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe FAKRO XDS Air Tight Barrier is made from polythene and is designed for quick and easy installation. Its purpose-built design allows it to be fitted around the roof window without complicated preparation, helping installers create a properly sealed connection efficiently.\n\nThe barrier is suitable for roof pitches between 15 and 90 degrees, making it adaptable to a wide range of roof designs. The correct XDS size should always be selected according to the dimensions of the roof window.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned to Protect Insulation\u003c\/h3\u003e\nMaintaining effective insulation around a roof window is important for overall thermal performance. If warm and humid indoor air reaches the insulation and condensation forms, the insulation's ability to perform effectively can be reduced.\n\nThe XDS Air Tight Barrier helps address this by creating an airtight layer between the internal environment and the insulation. When installed correctly, it helps keep the insulation protected and supports a more effective roof window installation.\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePart of the FAKRO XDK Insulation System\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe XDS Air Tight Barrier can be used as part of the FAKRO XDK insulation flashing system. The XDK set combines the XDP insulation set with the XDS air tight flashing to provide a coordinated solution for insulating and sealing around FAKRO roof windows.\n\nUsing the components together helps make the installation process quicker and more straightforward while providing both insulation and airtightness around the roof window.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelps protect roof window insulation from moisture\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelps improve the airtightness of the roof window installation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCreates a barrier against warm and humid internal air\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHelps reduce air gaps around the roof window opening\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDesigned to provide a flush connection between the roof window and surrounding sheeting\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFits into a dedicated groove in the roof window frame\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eManufactured from durable polythene\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eQuick and easy to assemble\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuitable for roof pitches between 15 and 90 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAvailable in multiple sizes to match different roof windows\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCan be used as part of the FAKRO XDK insulation flashing system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWorks alongside the XDP insulation set as part of the XDK system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAvailable Size Variants\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe FAKRO XDS Air Tight Barrier is available in 13 different sizes, allowing you to select the appropriate option for the corresponding FAKRO roof window.
