Swisspearl Windstopper

When you build, protecting the structure from wind and weather is crucial. Swisspearl Windstopper is the ideal wind barrier board for lightweight wall constructions, as it ensures a strong and durable structure.

It does this by protecting your building's structure against harsh weather conditions and ensuring an energy-efficient and reliable covering for both the insulation and the structure itself.

The Swisspearl Windstopper series consists of four different building products made from materials of the absolute highest quality, known for their outstanding durability and strength. With a perfect balance of innovation, functionality, and aesthetics, they ensure optimal results for any building structure.

Swisspearl Windstopper is used in a wide range of building projects – from private homes and commercial properties to industrial facilities and public buildings. Whether for high-rise buildings, schools, or other constructions, Swisspearl wind barrier boards can be adapted to any building structure to ensure optimal protection.

Windstopper are fibre cement-based wind barrier boards, made from grey cement, limestone filler, and cellulose fibres. The wind-resistant and vapour-permeable boards provide effective protection against wind and weather, making it easier to carry out construction projects in changing weather conditions. At the same time, they increase resistance to moisture and mould growth, contributing to a healthier and more durable building.

Choosing the right material ensures the best protection for both you and your building project. The Windstopper series in fibre cement is the optimal choice for several reasons:

• Can be left uncovered for up to 12 months – ideal for building projects with changing weather conditions.
• Inorganic material – resistant to moisture and mould growth.
• Extremely durable – does not degrade or weaken over time.
• Vapour-permeable - allows moisture to pass through from the inside but stops wind and water from the outside.

Swisspearl Windstopper is among the best wind barriers on the market, ensuring outstanding protection and durability for your building project. With their fire safety, robustness, and weather resistance, Swisspearl's wind barrier boards are the ideal solution for both large and small building projects – from homes and commercial buildings to garages, sheds, and more.

The Swisspearl Windstopper series includes four variants: Windstopper Basic, Windstopper Extreme, Windstopper Light, and Windstopper Connect. Whichever model you choose, you get a wind barrier board that ensures a solid, durable, and energy-efficient building.

The trend in construction is moving towards combining different materials. As part of this trend, partially open building envelopes, where the underlying wind barrier is visible, are becoming more common. A partially open facade construction places high demands on the materials' ability to withstand wind and weather.

Windstopper Extreme is the only wind barrier on the market that can be installed behind a permanently open building envelope with up to 20% openness. The 9 mm thick Windstopper Extreme is particularly resistant to the challenges that such a facade construction entails – including driving rain, snow, and UV rays – thus ensuring long-term protection and durability.

With partially open facades, the wind barrier is visible through the facade cladding. Windstopper Extreme in the colour Anthracite is well-suited for this purpose, as the wind barrier board becomes less conspicuous and contributes to a harmonious appearance. 

A further advantage of a partially open facade construction with Windstopper Extreme is that it eliminates the need for an extra layer of facade board compared to constructions that use less resistant wind barriers. This makes the construction both more efficient and cost-effective.
