How to transport and store Air Venting Membrane

Transporting and storing Air Venting Membranes requires careful handling to preserve their integrity and functionality. During transportation, proper packaging is crucial. Membranes should be placed in protective containers or rolls, cushioned with materials like foam or bubble wrap to prevent mechanical damage. Sharp objects or rough surfaces can easily puncture or scratch the membrane, compromising its air - venting performance.

For larger membranes, they should be secured firmly to prevent shifting during transit. If transported in a vehicle, ensure that the temperature and humidity inside are controlled. Extreme temperatures can cause the membrane materials to expand, contract, or even degrade. High humidity may lead to the growth of mold or mildew on the membrane, especially if it is made of organic - based materials.

When it comes to storage, choose a clean, dry, and dust - free environment. Avoid storing membranes in areas prone to moisture, such as basements or unventilated storage rooms. The storage area should also be well - ventilated to prevent the accumulation of harmful gases or vapors that could potentially react with the membrane materials.

Membranes should be stored flat or in their original rolled form. If stored rolled, make sure the curvature is not too tight to avoid permanent creasing. Stacking of membranes should be done with care, using flat supports between each layer to distribute the weight evenly and prevent deformation.

Regularly inspect stored membranes for any signs of damage, discoloration, or deterioration. If a membrane has been in storage for an extended period, it may be necessary to perform a pre - installation inspection and testing to ensure it still meets the required performance standards. Additionally, label stored membranes clearly with details such as the type, size, date of storage, and any specific handling instructions to ensure proper management and usage when needed. By following these transportation and storage guidelines, the quality and effectiveness of Air Venting Membranes can be maintained until they are ready for installation
