Sandtoft Koramic VPM Super underlay will provide temporary protection against rain for up to a month prior to the installation of the tiles or slates. If the exposure period exceeds one month then advice should be sought from Sandtoft Technical Department.

  • Suitable for use with all Sandtoft tiles and slates.
  • Can be used in both warm and cold roof designs on any roof shape and building type.
  • Highly vapour permeable, but entirely watertight.
  • Helps to avoid condensation risk in the roof space in accordance with BS 5250
  • UV and heat resistant, tough and durable.
  • Does not generate nuisance noise under wind loading.
  • Easy to cut and lightweight to handle.
  • Can be used in cold roofs without restriction for wind uplift in all exposure conditions in the UK and Ireland.
  • Can be used as a temporary roof covering.
