Solitex Plus Connect is Solitex Plus with the added advantage of two built-in self-adhesive strips along its horizontal edges. Solitex Plus Connect functions as a fully windtight and breathable (vapour open) roofing membrane/underlay that can be easily sealed without the need for any additional sealing tape.
Designed for external weatherproofing, Solitex Plus Connect can be used as a fully windtight breathable roofing underlay on pitched roofs (over 15° of pitch) and as a windtight breather membrane on timber frame walls. It can also be used on the underside of an insulated suspended timber floor to prevent draughts.
As it is a reinforced membrane with high nail tear and pull-out resistance, it is fully compatible with blown-in insulation.
Pro Clima Solitex Plus Connect is identical to Solitex Plus but with two additional self-adhesive strips added along its horizontal edges. It functions as a fully windtight and breathable (vapour open) roofing membrane/underlay that can also be easily sealed without the need for any additional sealing tape. Compared to conventional roofing underlays, it has a significantly lower resistance to moisture vapour. This ensures the structure remains dry and the risk of condensation occurring within the roof or walls of the building is extremely low.
Solitex Plus Connect will not be affected by preservatives, resins and oils in timber. Substances like these reduce the performance of microporous membranes by lowering the surface tension of the rainwater and allowing it to pass through pores in the membrane. Solitex Plus Connect is a monolithic membranes which has no pores and remains watertight.
With the adhesive strips, Solitex Plus Connect is easily and quickly sealed. The adhesive is in the optimal location to ensure the correct amount of overlap can be achieved. As additional tapes are needed for sealing overlaps, a cost saving can be achieved as 2-3 rolls of tape are not required. When this is combined with the reduced installation time, potential cost savings will increase.
The fleecy backing of Solitex Plus Connect reduces friction for easier installation and protects the membrane from rough timbers on site, and the reinforcement layer of mesh gives it a high nail tear resistance and robustness when construction workers walk over it during construction.
Use it on:
Roofs (over 15° pitch), timber frame walls and insulated suspended timber floors
