Performance Details

Application

Vent3 must be installed in accordance with the relevant sections of BS 5534:2003 and Britmet Tileform’s fixing instructions Vent3 when installed as a fully supported system, is laid over the support and secured with the counter battens, alternatively the membrane can be installed over counter batens and fixed at 200mm centres using corrosion resistance straps or galvanised clout nails. Tiling battens are fixed to the counter battens leaving a minimum airspace of 25mm between the roof undelay and the tiles for drainage and ventalation.

Abutment flashing should be wedged into a mortar joint 25mm deep and at least 150mm above the level of the slates or tiles. Vent3 underlay should be turned up behind the flashing at least 100mm to prevent rain and snow being blown into the roof-space. Lap joints in the membrane should be generally in accordance with thetavle set
out below. 600mm reinforcing strips should be fixed at hips, ridges and valleys.

Vent3 has UV resistance for up to four months. Correctly installed it will provide temporary weather protection, prior to the application of the mainroof finish. At eaves Britmet Tileform felt support tray should be installed to prevent ponding behind the fascia. The Vent3 should be laid over the support tray by 150mm stopping short of the
roof tile tails to prevent UV degradation of the underlay.
