Vista 162 Breather Membrane Roofing Felt from Easy-Trim
Professionals choice for heavy duty applications!
Ultimate high performance 162gsm heavyweight roof underlay with exceptional tensile strength and durability. Easy-Trim's Vista Breather Membrane is suitable for both fully supported and unsupported installations in tiled or slate pitch roofs.
The Vista 162 is a 3-layer micro porous breather membrane, which features a microporous film that is thermally bonded between two spun-bonded polypropylene layers. Allows the roof to breathe, so eliminates condensation, whilst providing secondary protection against rainwater ingress. Easy-Trim breather membranes improve energy efficiency and minimise the wind uplift that can loosen slates and tiles.
