Insulation specialist
Actis has launched a new specialised roofing product aimed at the new build and
refurb market.
BoostR Hybrid Roof,
which has LABC and LABSS registered details and is NHBC, LABC warranty and
Premier Guarantee approved, is an evolution of its popular Boost R Hybrid – an
insulating breather membrane with an impressive thermal performance.
The new CE marked
product, to be used on the cold side of roofs, eliminates the risk of
condensation and prevents moisture entering the building.
It contains four
special features developed following customer feedback, which set it apart from
its sister product, which is now renamed Boost R Hybrid Wall.
The
two changes which will make most difference to the user experience are the
addition of a lap and the inclusion of built in adhesive tape.
Actis
specification manager Dan Anson-Hart explained: “With BoostR Hybrid Roof we now
have an insulated breather membrane better suited for installation on a roof
with an integrated adhesive lap, while BoostR Hybrid Wall is an insulated
breather membrane better suited for wall applications with its reflective outer
layer.”
Boost
R Hybrid Roof is easily distinguished from its sister wall product by its
colour. The roof variant is black while Boost R Hybrid Wall is silver.
Additionally, Boost R Hybrid Roof comes in larger rolls which cover 15sqm.
The
Boost R Hybrid products also have the highest thermal resistance of any
insulating breather membrane on the market and are extremely cost competitive.
“Feedback
from our customers so far has been amazing,” added Dan. “They find it
incredibly quick and easy to use. Those who loved the original Boost R in
roofs, but found the lack of adhesive overlap an issue are delighted that
they’re going to be able to get the same impressive thermal efficiency and
value for money – with the added benefit of no hassle.”
