Permavent DRY+ is a vapour-permeable underlay designed for use as a secondary weather barrier in pitched roof and wall constructions. The underlay has been BRE tested and is suitable for installation across all UK wind zones, including installations with battened or taped laps at gauges of ≤345 mm, in accordance with BS 5534:2014+A2:2018 and when installed in accordance with certification requirements. It may be installed in unsupported or fully supported applications, allowing suitability across a wide range of pitched roofing and wall build-ups.
Permavent DRY+ achieves a W1 water resistance classification and provides a hydrostatic head greater than 2.0 metres, indicating superior resistance to water penetration under hydrostatic pressure, including wind-driven rain.
The underlay is available with an integrated tape system, enabling sealed laps to support airtightness, improve installation efficiency, and reduce on-site material waste.
