Universal Vapour Permeable Roof Underlay

  • 170gsm weighted underlay 
    Integrated tape system for sealing underlay laps
  • Provides a vapour-permeable underlay system with superb wind-uplift resistance
  • Unrestricted usage Zones 1-5, and fully compliant with BS 5534.
  • No need to increase laps to coincide with tile batten courses, minimising cost
  • No need to use an additional ‘fly’ batten to secure laps
  • Printed guidance lines
  • Provides a visual reference to ensure sufficient lap to the British Standard
  • Ensures that the underlay is laid consistently and straight

Description

Marley Universal Vapour Permeable underlay is a high-performance, breathable roof membrane for use in a range of pitched roof constructions.

Complete with an integrated tape system, this underlay provides and effective wind barrier with unrestricted usage across all UK wind zones (BS 5534).

Manufactured using a multi-layer bonding process of polypropylene laminates, the underlay is an ultra-strong, durable, and easy-to-install under-tile layer that is suitable for warm or cold roof applications.

Function & Compatibility

Each underlay is manufactured using the latest materials and processes, and each incorporates a number of useful features that assist in ensuring installation that is not only correct, but also compliant with the latest British Standards.
