Certificate type
Heavy-duty type HR impermeable roofing underlay, designed for all cold and warm pitched roofs.
Application
The product can be used for all pitched roof constructions (tiled and slated), whether the insulation is at ceiling joist level or at rafter level.
Description
Protect A1® is a heavy-duty type HR roofing underlay, designed for all cold and warm pitched roofs in conjunction with the provision of ventilation at eaves and ridge. The product can be used with a well-sealed ceiling and a separate air and vapour control layer on the warm side of the insulation or where the ceiling is not well-sealed as in a re-roofing application.
Features and benefits:
- Completely water and airtight.
- Third generation pitched roofing underlay developed to overcome the disadvantages of traditional Type 1F felts and second generation plastic sheet materials.
- Excellent nail tear strength and tensile strength.
- Has ‘unrestricted’ use for wind uplift in all exposure conditions in the UK and Ireland at 345 mm batten gauge (1732 Pa) without the need for additional sealing tapes.
- UV and heat resistant.
- Absorbent under surface prevents condensate drip-off.
- Embossed dark grey upper surface reduces glare and takes a chalk line marking.
- Does not generate noise under wind loading.
- Easy to cut, clean, light to handle and unaffected by temperature changes.
- CE marked and BM TRADA certified.
