Heavy Duty Weathertight Membrane

£92.71 ex VAT

Heavy duty, high performance breather membrane for harsh, weather exposed constructions including costal locations.

 

Guaranteed Safe Checkout

The PHS 180 Breather Membrane is a triple layer fabric, external weathertight membrane, made from standard tensile spun bonded polypropylene layers, around a micro porous polypropylene film. It is designed, manufactured and quality assured for use on fully supported or unsupported tile, slate and metal roof systems. PHS 180 Breather Membrane has excellent vapour permeability, combined with high tensile strength and wind uplift resistance. It is an excellent heavy duty breather membrane, especially suited to harsh, weather exposed constructions, including costal locations.

The PHS 180 Breather Membrane is designed as a secondary barrier to wind driven rain and snow, it should not be considered a primary waterproofing layer. The outer, printed layer forms the functional waterproof surface, the middle layer is the breathable waterproof membrane, and the inner layer protects the membrane from abrasion and damage, also giving additional strength. This enables the fabric to allow moisture vapour to pass through, while remaining fully waterproof. The upper surface is burgundy and printed with the PHS trade name and overlap lines.

Application

Application Guide:
  • PHS 180 Breather Membrane must be installed in accordance with the relevant sections of BS 5534:2018 and NSAI S.R. 82:2017 and it’s fixing instructions.
  • PHS 180 Breather Membrane is designed as a secondary barrier to wind driven rain and snow, it should not be considered a primary waterproofing layer. Whilst the product is UV stable for up to 3 months exposure, good roofing practice dictates that the primary waterproofing finish (e.g. tiles, slates etc.) be applied as soon as practically possible.
  • PHS 180 Breather Membrane should be unrolled across the roof, starting at the eaves and working up the roof, it must be laid printed side up. With normal slates and tiles the membrane should be installed draped to a maximum 15mm into the void between the rafters in line with BS 5534:2018 and NSAI S.R. 82:2017 it can then be secured with the tiling battens.
  • This will leave sufficient space between the PHS 180 Breather Membrane and the tiles/slates for drainage and ventilation. When installed as a fully trusses supported system, is laid over on trusses and secured with counter battens. Alternatively the membrane can be installed over counter battens and fixed at 200mm centres using corrosion resistant galvanised clout nails. Tiling battens are fixed to the counter battens leaving a minimum airspace of 25mm between the roof sheet underlay and the tiles for drainage and ventilation.
  • In unventilated roof systems, vapour control measures are required below the insulation layer to restrict the flow of moist air from within the inhabited building into the roof space.
  • PHS 180 Breather Membrane should be turned up at abutments at least 100mm to prevent rain and snow being blown into the roof-space. 600mm reinforcing strips should be fixed at hips, ridges and valleys. At the eaves, a felt support tray should be installed to prevent ponding behind the fascia.
  • PHS 180 Breather Membrane should be laid over the support tray stopping short of the roof tile tails to prevent UV degradation of the underlay.
