Tyvek Supro Breather Membrane Felt Underlay 1m x 50m (50m2/Roll)

Improve energy efficiency and lower greenhouse gas emissions with Tyvek Supro Breather Membrane Felt Underlay 1m x 50m. This airtight, vapour-permeable membrane is extremely water-resistant, and can be used for all supported and unsupported pitched roofs. 

Simply put, Tyvek helps to keep moisture out of a building whilst also helping to regulate its temperature. Without a breather membrane on your side, your build would be susceptible to all sorts of problems, including mould and mildew growth. 

Tyvek Supro Breather 1m x 50m banishes moisture and the need for soffit, tile or ridge ventilation, saving you precious time and money in the construction process. 

In addition to warm, hybrid and cold roofs, Tyvek offers superior air and moisture management in Scottish sarking board systems, low-pitched metal roofs, and wall and floor applications.

The Importance of Moisture Management In Buildings

Without proper moisture management, your property is at risk for all sorts of problems. Water damage is one of the most common and expensive types of damage to a structure, so it's important to take steps to prevent it. 

Here are four reasons why moisture management is so important:

• First, moisture can lead to the growth of mould and mildew, which can be dangerous to your health. Mould and mildew can cause respiratory problems, and they can also trigger allergies and asthma attacks. 
• Second, moisture can damage a building's structure. Wood rot is a common problem in properties with high humidity levels, and it can weaken the framing of your build 
• Third, moisture can make your project more comfortable for pests. Insects and rodents are attracted to moisture, so if a building is damp, you're more likely to have a problem with them. 
• Finally, moisture can make a building less energy-efficient. When the air in a building is humid, it takes longer for a heating and cooling system to do its job. This means that your energy bills will be higher, and the property will be less comfortable.
