Underlays and sealings

There are two types of underlay: permeable and non-permeable.

Non-permeable underlay carries water away from the roof, and this is used for roofs with cold ventilated attics or insulated roofs where there is an air gap between insulation and underlay.

Permeable underlay consists of several layers – on e of the most important layers is a vapour permeable membrane covered with a special fabric. This underlay can be applied right on the roof trusses followed by distance plates, purlins and roof covering. Truss spacings can be filled with insulation material by pushing it tightly against stretched underlay. When applying permeable underlay, attention must be paid to sticking the pains together (the best adhesion can be achieved by using underlay with two tapes). Permeable underlay eliminate the need for wind screen plates or ventilation rafters, which are a must for membrane-like and non-permeable underlay material of the currently the most popular roofing construction.
