ProctorPassive HC8 EnkaVent
Description

ProctorPassive HC8 EnkaVent Drainage Spacer Mat is a three-dimensional shaped mesh of polyamide monofilaments, tangled and fused together.

Key Features
  • Provides a drainage pathway for condensate or moisture that may get under the roof sheet.
  • Provides space for air movement between the roof deck/underlay and metal roof.
  • Reduces corrosion risk — particular importance with zinc or galvanised steel roof sheets.
  • 14dB reduction in impact noise on metal roofing.
  • Allows for movement of the roof sheet under temperature fluctuations.
  • Polyamide (PA6) filaments offer high dimensional stability in all climate conditions.
  • Contributes to a reduction in temperature of the roof substrate from solar radiation. 
  • High air void (95%) for ultimate drainage capacity.
  • Flexible and lightweight for ease of installation.
  • Easily cut with scissors or knife.
  • AS1530.3 testing (0,0,0,-1).
Scope of Use

Moisture can potentially build up under metal roof sheeting and cause structural damage and corrosion of the roof sheet and fixings. ProctorPassive HC8 EnkaVent is used to provide permanent drainage and air movement pathway between the roof sheeting and water-resistant roofing underlay, and permit the removal of such moisture. ProctorPassive HC8 EnkaVent also offers significant sound reduction from rain impact noise. 

When used in conjunction with DriStud or ProctorPassive underlays and tapes, this offers a roofing underlay solution for zinc, cooper and other standing seam and flat profile roof systems. 

Limitations on Use

The product may be damaged by careless handling, high winds or vandalism, and should not be left uncovered for longer than is absolutely necessary. Any damaged areas should be replaced before completion.
