BREATHER MEMBRANES range

Breather membrane

ACTIS reflective breather membranes are designed to improve the thermal performance of roofs and walls. Installed over the roof structure they protect insulation from air and water infiltration and enable water vapour to be evacuated.

Solutions & Systems

BOOST'R HYBRID

A thin multifoil insulation product with a built-in breather membrane function and an exceptional thermal performance.

BOOST'R HYBRID provides dual properties within a single product: a breathable membrane and insulation, allowing a reduction in the number of installation steps whilst reducing the thickness of the main insulation to achieve the same required U-value. It can be used in conjunction with any type of insulation.

It has been designed to be used on the cold side of the building fabric.

Applications

MAIN POINTS

CE mark as roof underlayment and rainscreen.
Water vapour permeability to prevent any risk of condensation.
