Permavent, roofing experts who design, manufacture and distribute roofing ancillary products, offer an ‘All in One’ construction membrane solution. Along with recently winning the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation for their unique Easy Roof System, specialist construction membrane ‘Permafol’ was also launched and provides a new innovative solution for building development.

Permafol is an extremely high performance and versatile construction membrane with many unique properties that offer this ‘all in one’ solution for construction, with benefits within: roofing, thatched and listed buildings, wall insulation and house wraps. It is an ideal roofing membrane because its properties offer waterproof yet breathable layers, which also have excellent thermal, sound proof and airtight protection, as well as being completely fireproof, which stops the spread of fire in all buildings.

With offering this complete fire protection, Permafol is perfect for thatched and listed buildings, as with the substantial level of insulation, increased soundproofing and high level of breathability, it will maintain the integrity of the building and reduces the risk of fire damage. In addition to being ultrathin at just 10mm, Permafol also boasts a thermal resistance R value of 1.7 which makes it a great for use as wall insulation and as a house wrap, such as with timber framed building developments.

As well as all of these benefits, Permafol also helps with the reduction of the carbon impact in construction, as the product is made from recycled materials. Whilst it is important to Permavent that construction becomes much more sustainable, it is also supports the government’s ‘zero carbon’ regulations coming into practice.
