Actis BoostR Hybrid Roof Insulation products

Actis BoostR Hybrid Roof insulating breather membrane comes into its own as energy prices soar

Our insulating breather membrane specifically designed for roofs is coming into its own as energy prices soar.

BoostR Hybrid Roof, part of the Actis Hybrid range, is proving extremely popular with specifiers and builders looking for an easy to use and thermally extremely effective way of eliminating condensation and preventing moisture entering the building.

The new energy price guarantee means payback periods on insulating a roof alone are now as little as three years. With more than 25% of the UK’s traditional housing stock more than a century old, Actis is seeing a rise in interest as builders help home owners stem the flow of heat leaching from older homes. And changes to Part L are making it a popular choice for the new build market.

The CE marked product, aimed at both the new build and refurb market and used on the cold side of roofs, is an evolution of Actis’ popular BoostR Hybrid.

It’s quick and easy to install. In an existing building it’s a case of removing the tiles, laying it over the timber rafters and stapling it in place. It doesn’t require any special cutting tools, eye or respiratory protection and there’s hardly any wastage. Because it’s thin it doesn’t take up much room to transport, and it’s light and easy to carry up and down ladders and scaffolding.

The two BoostR Hybrid products also have the highest thermal resistance of any insulating breather membrane on the market and are extremely cost competitive.

Both are LABC Warranty and Premier Guarantee approved when used in accordance with the certification.

BoostR Hybrid Roof, which comes in larger rolls, covering 15sqm, contains four special features which set it apart from its sister product, with the two changes making the most difference to the user experience being the addition of a lap and the inclusion of built-in adhesive tape.

A series of bite sized video tutorials look in detail at how to install the product.
