Product Details
The Protect VP300 Underlay is available in 50 square metre or 75 square metre rolls. It is a medium weight vapour permeable roof underlay, the VP300’s vapour resistance exceeds the level required by BS 5250 and also has a higher strength than many other underlays in its class. Suitable for all pitched roofs particularly fully supported applications. Protect VP300 is CE marked and certified by BM TRADA . It provides a cost effective solution when higher specified roof underlays are not required.
Protect VP300 can provide a secondary line of defence against wind driven rain and snow, the reduction in wind uplift loads on the roof covering and is also able to be used as a temporary roof covering
before the slates or tiles are applied.
