An architect’s home near Dundee is seeing the benefi ts of its new roof underlay. Neil Simpson is fi tting the Proctor Air® himself while renovating the roof of his stone-walled property built in 1902. “Proctor Air has been excellent,” explained Neil. “It is relatively easy to install, and has protected us from the weather. The wind used to whistle through the roof before, but we’ve seen a diff erence straight away in reducing that infi ltration.” Situated in an exposed location overlooking the River Tay, the house is subject to the elements. As Neil has continued to live in the property during the work, the underlay had to be capable of protecting the property and its occupants. Proctor Air has a water resistance classifi cation of W1, and its BBA certifi cate states the hydrostatic head is greater than 1m. This water hold out performance means Proctor Air can be left exposed for up to three months (although should not be relied upon as being waterproof). While the reroofi ng work has not experienced too much rain, there have been strong winds. Proctor Air can be used in wind zones 1-4 without additional measures such as taping joints or additional battens. Other advantages of Proctor Air are its Mullen burst strength and slip resistance performance. To fi nd out more about A. Proctor Group’s Proctor Air, download the brochure from the website below.
