Masons VHP Value Roof Underlay
Description

VHP Value is a high performance, self-supporting, highly breathable, tough, synthetic roof underlay. A huge upgrade from Bituminous Paper.

Featuring three pliable layers: a very high vapour permeable water-resistant membrane and two tough layers of non-woven polyolefin fabric. These layers assist in the control of condensation and water vapour. VHP Value Roof Underlay is not fire retardant.

Key Features
  • Premium performance
  • Assists in moisture control — deflects water and air both during construction and as part of the finished roof
  • Affordable
  • Self-supporting
  • Highly breathable — transforms water vapour at higher rates than bitumen impregnated paper
  • Temporary weather protection — UV resistance for 21 days — although same-day coverage is strongly recommended
  • CodeMark certified
