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.
