When it comes to safeguarding your roofing projects, selecting a membrane that delivers on both quality and performance is essential. At Roofbase, we’re proud to offer Breatheshield from Garde Roofing Supplies Limited, a premium solution for those who demand the highest standards in roofing protection.
What Sets Breatheshield Apart?
Breatheshield stands out as a high-performance, vapour-permeable underlay designed for use in both domestic and commercial roof applications. The range includes products like Breatheshield 150, which exemplifies the premium quality that Garde Roofing Supplies is known for. This membrane is engineered to allow controlled moisture vapour escape beyond adherence to BS5250, thereby protecting the integrity of your roof structure by significantly reducing the risk of condensation.
Manufactured and Tested to the Highest Standards
Breatheshield undergoes rigorous testing and adheres to stringent manufacturing protocols:
Certified to EN 13859-1: This European standard ensures the membrane meets essential requirements for water resistance, mechanical strength, and durability.
CE Certified: Breatheshield carries the CE mark, confirming its compliance with EU safety, health, and environmental protection standards.
Wind Uplift Testing: The product is approved for use in UK wind zones 1 to 4, following wind uplift testing to BS5534 (A), guaranteeing reliable performance even in challenging weather conditions.
Building Regulations Compliance: Breatheshield meets the functional requirements of the Building Regulations for England, Wales, and Scotland, including resistance to moisture, ventilation, and conservation of fuel and power.
Mechanical Resistance: With high tensile strength (up to 300N), Breatheshield is robust and durable, ensuring long-term serviceability.
BBA Certified: Both Breatheshield 120 and Breatheshield 150 are fully BBA certified, ensuring independent verification of their quality and performance
Premium Features for Lasting Protection
Superior Vapour Permeability: Breatheshield allows moisture vapour to escape efficiently, preventing condensation and associated damage.
UV Resistance: Treated to withstand up to four months of UV exposure, offering flexibility during installation without compromising performance.
Waterproofing: The membrane remains fully waterproof, protecting the structure from external moisture while allowing internal vapour to escape. However, no breather membrane is considered as the primary roof covering so care needs to be taken and common sense prevail in the event of storms with adherence to BS5534.
Energy Efficiency: By reducing the risk of trapped moisture, Breatheshield supports better heat retention and energy economy within the building envelope.
