Permavent APEX

Permavent APEX - Air open and vapour permeable membrane

Description

Permavent APEX is a 3 layer air open and vapour permeable underlay, providing unique condensation control which eliminates the need for low and/or high level roof space ventilation when used in conjunction with air permeable roof coverings. APEX also provides a secondary barrier to water ingress.
Permavent APEX meets the requirements of BS 5534:2014+A2:2018 code of practice for slating and tiling for pitched roofs and BS 5250:2021 Management of moisture in buildings – code of practice.
An integrated double tape system allows APEX to be installed in all UK wind zones.
