Actis Boost’R Hybrid Roof is an insulating breather membrane that has been rigorously tested and BRE-approved for use in the windiest parts of the UK. With increasing weather volatility, roofing systems must be built to resist high winds. It was developed specifically with this in mind, offering advanced wind uplift resistance, ensuring your roof stays intact, no matter the storm.
Here’s why it’s the best solution on the market today:
1. Exceeds Wind Uplift Resistance Standards
Roofing professionals are required to comply with BS5534:2014, the building standard for pitched roofs, slating, and tiling, which specifies minimum wind uplift resistance levels. However, not all underlays are designed to withstand the strongest winds, especially in areas like Scotland or the North of England. Some underlays only pass in zones one to three, leaving regions most vulnerable to extreme weather exposed.
Boost R Hybrid Roof, however, surpasses the requirements with an impressive average of 3054Pa wind uplift resistance when used with taped laps, and even higher performance of 5748Pa when paired with a 38mm counter batten. This means your roof stays secure, even in the highest wind zones, from the northerly islands of Scotland to the most southerly points of England.
2. Combines Dual Functions for Ease of Use
It combines two critical functions into one product: insulation and a breathable membrane. This dual functionality makes it the ultimate choice for roofing professionals looking to streamline the installation process while improving thermal and moisture performance. By integrating the breathable membrane and insulation in a single product, Boost R Hybrid Roof reduces installation steps and simplifies the building process, saving both time and costs.
3. Managing Moisture While Enhancing Thermal Efficiency
One of the standout features of Boost R Hybrid Roof is its built-in breathable membrane, which effectively manages moisture. This helps to reduce condensation and prevent mold growth, maintaining a healthier indoor environment and extending the lifespan of the roof structure. The added insulation benefits also improve thermal efficiency, ensuring that buildings remain warmer in winter and cooler in summer, reducing energy consumption and enhancing occupant comfort.
4. Approved for Use Across All Five UK Wind Zones
As climate conditions continue to worsen, Actis understands the importance of having roofing products that can stand up to extreme weather. Boost R Hybrid Roof has passed the BRE wind uplift resistance test for all five UK wind zones, making it an excellent choice for contractors working in regions with higher wind exposure. With the BRE's wind uplift resistance labelling, contractors can easily select the right underlay for the geographical region they're working in.
The product's testing results far exceed the minimum requirements set by building standards, offering roofing professionals the peace of mind that their roof systems will perform under the most demanding weather conditions.
5. Built for Performance, Engineered for Peace of Mind
Boost R Hybrid Roof was tested in response to increasingly extreme weather events. The rigorous wind uplift resistance test confirmed its suitability for all UK regions, particularly the more extreme areas where storms and high winds are frequent. The product significantly reduces the risks of roofing damage during storms like Bert and Darragh, protecting both the building and its inhabitants.
