Actis has produced a series of bite sized video tutorials to
accompany the launch of its latest product – an easy-to-use insulating breather
membrane for roofs.
The videos, presented by specification manager Dan Anson-Hart, take
an overview of how to insulate a pitched roof with its new Boost R Hybrid Roof.
They also look in detail about how to create vertical and
horizontal joints with the product and how to join it at the eaves.
The four videos are the latest in an extremely popular and helpful
series to be produced by Actis and presented by Dan.
He previously made a number of how to guides showing how to use
innovative honeycomb insulation Hybris panels in timber frame walls and pitched
roofs. They also looked at how to cut the product, how to insert pipes and
ducting through the material and how to install it behind timbers.
All Actis Hybrid quick, clean and easy to install products are
becoming increasingly popular, with year on year sales on the rise – because
installers find them so straightforward to use and because they are excellent
thermal blankets. They can eliminate thermal bridging and thus increase
energy efficiency because they wrap round corners and squash into gaps –
meaning there is no space through which air can seep.
Dan explained: “The videos we have produced so far have had
thousands upon thousands of views. They are really handy go to guides
which installers can watch on their phone or tablet when they’re on site.”
CE marked
Boost’R Hybrid Roof, which has LABC and LABSS registered details and is NHBC,
LABC warranty and Premier Guarantee approved, is an evolution of Actis’ popular
Boost’R Hybrid and is aimed at the new build and refurb markets.
It
contains four special features developed following customer feedback, which set
it apart from its sister product, which is now renamed Boost R Hybrid Wall.
The two changes which will make most difference to the user
experience are the addition of a lap and the inclusion of built in adhesive
tape.
Boost’R Hybrid Roof is easily distinguished from its sister wall
product by its colour. The roof variant is black while Boost’R Hybrid Wall is
silver. Additionally, Boost’R Hybrid Roof comes in larger rolls which cover
15sqm.
The Boost R Hybrid products also have the highest thermal
resistance of any insulating breather membrane on the market and are extremely
cost competitive.
