Product Information

Full details

The Vent 3 Classic Breather Membrane is ideal for roofing contractors and builders looking for a high-performance, three-layer solution that simplifies ventilation requirements for both cold and warm roof applications. It excels at providing a robust secondary barrier against wind-driven rain and snow while maintaining excellent vapour permeability to prevent interstitial condensation. The primary caveat is the material's three-month UV stability limit, which necessitates that external cladding or roof coverings be installed within this timeframe to avoid degradation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this membrane be used for wall applications?

Yes, it is designed for use behind external cladding as well as for roof underlay applications.

What is the weight of the Vent 3 Classic membrane?

The membrane has a density of 115gsm.

Do I need to install tile vents with this product?

No, because the product is highly vapour permeable, it often eliminates the need for additional roof ventilation.

How long can the membrane be left exposed to the sun?

The product is UV stable for a period of three months.

What are the dimensions of the roll?

The roll measures 1 meter in width by 25 meters in length.

Troubleshooting

Membrane shows signs of degradation before roof covering is installed

The membrane has likely exceeded its three-month UV exposure limit. Replace the affected section if structural integrity is compromised.

Moisture buildup detected in the attic space

Verify that all laps have been correctly sealed and that there are no gaps in the membrane layer where warm, moist air can bypass the barrier.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for complex additional ventilation systems
  • Lightweight and flexible for easy handling on site
  • Excellent tear and tensile strength
  • Suitable for both warm and cold roof constructions
  • BBA certified quality

Cons

  • Limited to three months of direct UV exposure
  • 115gsm weight requires careful handling to avoid punctures before installation
  • Not intended for use as a primary roof covering

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, roll out the membrane parallel to the eaves, ensuring it is pulled taut. Each layer should overlap the previous one according to the pitch of the roof; consult the BBA guidelines for specific lap requirements based on roof slope. The membrane should be secured using corrosion-resistant staples or nails.

Compatibility covers most standard tile, slate, and cladding systems. Care must be taken during installation to prevent sharp tools from puncturing the membrane. If accidental damage occurs, patches should be applied using appropriate airtight tape. Because the membrane is UV-stable for only three months, ensure the project timeline accounts for the installation of the final protective layer of roof tiles or cladding to prevent long-term environmental degradation.
