Applications

Person's legs visible through opening in wooden floor joists above green subflooring, with orange ladder positioned diagonally.

Airtightness

MEDITE VENT is designed for use within airtight building systems where controlled vapour permeability is required. It supports modern low-energy construction methods by helping manage moisture movement within the building envelope.

Breathable Wall Construction

Allows controlled vapour movement through wall assemblies, helping reduce the risk of condensation within airtight structures.

Timber Frame and Offsite Building Systems

Suitable for use within timber frame walls and prefabricated building systems where breathable materials are required to support moisture management.

Supports Low Energy Buildings

Used in construction approaches focused on energy efficiency and indoor comfort, including airtight and diffusion-open building designs.

FAQs

Is MEDITE VENT an exterior board?

NO. MEDITE VENT is a panel that can be used in humid (service class 2) conditions.

Why is MEDITE VENT so light?

MEDITE VENT is produced to a lower density than most standard MDF to provide lower vapour resistance while maintaining sufficient strength as a racking panel.

Can MEDITE VENT get wet?

As with all wood-based panels for use in humid conditions wetting should be avoided. If the panel is wetted during installation it is recommended to allow the panel to dry before the permanent covering is installed.

Is MEDITE VENT moisture resistant?

MEDITE VENT is manufactured using the same moisture resistant (and no added formaldehyde) resin technology as SMARTPLY MAX OSB/3 and SMARTPLY ULTIMA OSB/4. This makes it suitable for use in Service Class 2 (humid) conditions and suitable for use as external sheathing panel in timber frame structures. MEDITE VENT must be protected by a suitable breather membrane and maintained in Service Class 2 conditions in the finished building.

Is MEDITE VENT a Passive House Institute Certified Component (Like SMARTPLY AIRTIGHT)?

NO. SMARTPLY AIRTIGHT is certified as an airtight panel. MEDITE VENT is not airtight.
