Leading building products manufacturer Glidevale Protect has strengthened its existing range of pitched roofing underlays with the launch of Protect VP200 – a type LR, vapour permeable and completely airtight roofing membrane with a vapour resistance that exceeds the requirements of BS 5250, helping to avoid the risk of harmful condensation in the roof space.
New Protect VP200 is a medium weight, highly durable and completely waterproof underlay, suitable for use on all pitched roofs in wind uplift zones 1 and 2 at 345mm batten gauge, covering a large area of England and Wales. Achieving a resistance to wind pressure of 1022 Pa when tested to Annex A of BS 5534, Protect VP200 is suitable for use as a secondary line of defence against wind driven rain and snow across all pitched cold and warm roofs, including fully supported applications.
Fully independently certified by BM TRADA, the underlay’s high-performance and competitive technical characteristics make it an ideal choice for new build and re-roofing projects in accordance with BS 5250 and NHBC requirements.
For a complete cold roof solution, Protect VP200 can be combined with Glidevale Protect’s unique dry fix universal ventilated ridge and hip systems, Protect Fulmetal UniRoll or RediRoll, ensuring both condensation control and water penetration resistance within the roof space.
