Storm Benjamin is the latest meteorological reminder of the importance of constructing roofs which can withstand extreme weather conditions, says insulation specialist Actis, whose insulating breather membrane Boost R Hybrid Roof is BRE-approved for use in even the windiest parts of the UK<\/h2>\n

Roofing professionals, who must comply with building standard BS5534:2014 slating and tiling for pitched roofs and vertical cladding code of practice specifying criteria, will be reassured by the fact that the membrane<\/a> has passed the BRE\u2019s all-important wind uplift resistance test \u2013 making it an obvious choice for use anywhere in Britain and Northern Ireland, especially as Storm Benjamin begins to hit.<\/p>\n

The building standard addresses every component of the construction of a standard roof<\/h3>\n

As well as underlays, it covers mortar bedding, battens, flashings and structural sheathing fixings.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The map shows the zones in which Boost R Hybrid can be used. It has been approved for use in zones 1- 5 while some underlays only achieve zones 1 \u2013 3 approval. \u00a9 IHS, reproduced with permission from BRE DG 489, 2014 edition<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The BRE wind uplift resistance labelling ensures that roofers and builders can easily identify the correct underlay for the geographical region in which they are working. This is particularly relevant for contractors in Scotland, the North of England and ultra-windy parts of the UK.<\/p>\n

The test, carried out when the revised standard came into force a few years ago in the face of increasingly extreme weather incidents, concluded that Actis Boost \u2018R Hybrid Roof is suitable for use across all five regions, or zones, of the UK identified under the new system, from the most northerly islands of Scotland to the most southerly point of England.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that not all underlays can cope with the windier conditions of Scotland or the far North of England, with some only suitable for use in zones one to three.<\/p>\n

Using Boost R Hybrid Roof<\/a> means builders can minimise the \u2018ballooning effect\u2019 which sees the underlay force tiles and slates off the roof in high winds. Underlay is not allowed to balloon more than 35mm.<\/p>\n

The wind uplift pressure achieved by Boost \u2018R Hybrid during the tests was way more effective than that required under the building standard, which calls for a minimum wind uplift resistance of 1600 Pa for a 345mm batten gauged roof covering, rising to 2350Pa for roofs with no ceiling and a permanent dominant opening.<\/p>\n

Boost R Hybrid Roof managed an impressive average of 3054Pa when used with taped lap alone and 5748Pa with the addition of a 38mm counter batten.<\/p>\n
