48 BUILDING FABRIC; FINANCE & INSURANCE Proctor Air® fi ts the bill for roof rebuild A
substantial roof reconstruction project at a standalone property in Somerset valued at over £1 million,
saw the entire existing pitched roof removed and rebuilt. Soteria Roofi ng Specialists put forward Proctor Air® as an alternative to the pitched roof underlay originally specifi ed by the project architects. Soteria Roofi ng Specialists was responsible
for everything from the wall plate upwards, installing new timbers, supporting steelwork and roof covering to create a mansard-type arrangement providing room in the roof accommodation. “We know Proctor Air works, we like
working with it. We spend time looking into the materials we use because we don’t want them failing on us,” said Ricky Shellard, Director of Soteria Roofi ng Specialists. “Our immediate reaction on trialling Proctor Air was, ‘this is good.’ For example, it doesn’t rip under your feet. It’s
about using the best quality products – so Proctor Air fi ts the bill.” Proctor Air is an APLR membrane. It is both
air permeable and has a low resistance to the passage of moisture vapour. These qualities combine to reduce condensation risk in roofs and provide a more consistent fl ow of air than standard roof vent products. Other qualities of the membrane make a
signifi cant diff erence to installers working with it on site. For example, backing up the experiences of the Soteria Roofi ng Specialists
team, Proctor Air achieves an excellent Mullen burst strength result. This is an assessment of the fabric’s strength and helps it to resist normal roof installation loads. In addition, assessing the slip resistance
of Proctor Air shows it has a high coeffi cient of friction, which increases safety during the installation of the covering as part of normal safe working practices.
