What is VentureClad ®

Jacketing?
VentureClad® jacketing is a zero permeability,
self-adhesive tape which bonds 100% to the surface of
the insulation providing a neat and dependable weather
barrier which reduces corrosion under insulation.

How is VentureClad®
Jacketing installed?
Surface Preparation

Ensure that all surfaces are dry and clean, free from dust, oil and grease/silicone. All insulation should be taped securely, giving an even
surface for the VentureClad application. All adhesives work best when firmly “wetted out” to the substrate surfaces.

When applying, partly peel back and crease the liner so enough adhesive is available to attach the VentureClad in the correct position.
Then, with a spreader, progressively remove the liner while smoothing, until the entire sheet has been applied.

When applying VentureClad sheet onto a continuous surface until it meets itself, a 3 inch (75mm) overlap is recommended to give a
strong, weatherproof seal. Plan the wrap so that the edge of the sealing flap faces down.
