Manufacturer
Marley has launched its own easy-to-install Vapour Permeable
and Non Breathable underlays, further enhancing its position as the
leading roof systems provider in the UK.
The latest announcement means Marley now offers the most
comprehensive roof system in the market, including roof coverings,
fittings and accessories, roofing battens and underlays. This allows
specifiers, merchants and contractors to benefit from buying a whole
roof system from a single source.
The
new Universal lightweight underlays incorporate a range of useful
features to ensure installation is compliant with the latest
requirements of BS 5534. As well as being designed for use in all
five UK wind zones, the underlays are marked with guide lines for
straight laying and to correspond with the different overlap lengths
set out by the British Standard, making it easier for contractors to
comply.
To
meet the British Standard, securing underlay can either involve
wastage by requiring larger laps to coincide with a naturally
occurring batten course or introduce a health and safety risk with
the use of a dangerous fly batten. To overcome these challenges,
Marley’s Vapour Permeable and Non Breathable underlays come
with integrated tape to seal and secure the laps. This provides an
effective and easy-to-install solution capable of resisting problems
associated with wind uplift, whilst meeting the British Standard.
The high performance Universal underlays have been manufactured using
the latest materials and processes. They have been designed either
to integrate as part of a complete Marley roof system, or for
use in conjunction with a range of roof coverings - regardless of
manufacturer.
