Ceilings By Design is proud to announce the launch of its new branded vapour permeable membrane (VPM), a Class 4 vapour permeable wall wrap designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern commercial construction and Australia’s harsh weather.
We know how challenging it can be to coordinate multiple suppliers while staying on schedule and on budget. That’s why this addition to our extensive range is just another way we have your back when you’re under pressure to deliver quality, on time and on budget.
What makes our vapour permeable membrane different?
Ever been burned by dodgy permeable wall wrap? Delays, non-compliance, blowouts, we’ve seen it all. That’s exactly why we teamed up with Reflex to launch our very own branded wall wrap.
Our wall wrap is Class 4 Vapour Permeable Membrane and certified Water Barrier, which means it delivers the perfect balance of moisture management and weather protection to keep your wall cavities dry and protected.

VPM frequently asked questions
How long can the VPM be exposed to the sun before cladding?
Up to 90 days. We know sites get delayed, so this VPM won’t let you down if things take a little longer.
Is this suitable for both residential and commercial projects?
Yes, our vapour permeable wall wrap is designed for versatile application across residential and commercial wall systems.
Will it help with thermal performance?
Yes. When paired with the right insulation, our VPM can improve R-values (RT0.6–0.7), depending on your wall type.
How does this product work with insulation systems?
The membrane allows water vapour to pass through while blocking liquid water to keep your structures dry, making it ideal for use with insulation in wall cavities.
What technical standards does this product meet?
Our membrane complies with AS/NZS 4200.1:2017 for Light Wall Duty and ASTM E96 for Class 4 Vapour Permeability.
