Pro Clima Solitex Plus is used as a fully wind-tight and breathable(vapour open) roofing underlay for pitched roofs, as an external membrane for timber frame walls and as the windtight membrane used when insulating a suspended timber floor.
It has 4 robust layers making it ideal for use where heavy foot traffic is likely during construction, can be exposed to UV and weather for up to 3 months and has impressive nail tear resistance.
Solitex Plus is an external fully windtight breathable membrane for use as a roofing underlay on pitched roofs (over 15° of pitch) and as a breather membrane on the outside of timber frame walls. The membrane can also be used to windproof the underside of an insulated suspended timber floor.
As it is a reinforced membrane with high nail tear and pull-out resistance, it is fully compatible with blown-in insulation.
Please note: If the roof is flatter than 15° pitch, seek additional guidance from our technical team or consider using Solitex Weldano for particularly low pitch roofs of less than 10°.
Pro Clima Solitex Plus is a 4-ply roofing underlay/membrane consisting of a polypropylene fleecy backing, super-strong reinforcing mesh, a central layer of monolithic nonporous TEEE membrane and a blue polypropylene felt top layer. It has a significantly lower resistance to moisture vapour than conventional roof underlays. This provides a dry structure with an extremely low risk of condensation forming within the roof or walls of the building.
The monolithic windtight membrane is unaffected by preservatives, resins and oils in timber. These substances are damaging to inferior microporous membranes and cause rain water to seep through (leaching). This is because they lower the surface tension of the rain water allowing it to pass through the microscopic holes in the microporous membrane. There are no microscopic holes in Solitex plus so it remains watertight in all circumstances.
Solitex Plus is unaffected by exposure to UV and high levels of radiant heat from the sun for up to 3 months. This is ideal for protecting an unfinished building (during construction) from the elements before any tiles, protective cladding or façade are installed.
Use it on:
Roofs (over 15° pitch), timber frame walls, insulated suspended timber floors
