Finishes roofing materials membranes 
Icopal Systems - Breaths lightly with Monaperm 500
Icopal has extended its range of Anderson
Monarflex pitched roof breather membranes with the launch of
Monarperm 500.
The 500 series is a lean version of the renowned 700 marque,
with corresponding high-performance. It eliminates the need for
traditional eaves/ridge ventilation in warm or cold pitched
roofs while helping to meet the Part L Building Regulations by
improving airtightness and reducing energy consumption.
Monarperm 500 comprises a special three-layer composite
structure with a unique microporous film that provides an
effective role in condensation control without the need to vent.
BBA certified and waterproof to over six metres’ head of water,
Monarperm 500’s high tensile strength and puncture resistance
make it ideal for fully or partially supported roofs on
new-build and refurbishment projects.
It is UV stable, featuring a grey top side and white underside,
and available in 1m and 1.5m-wide rolls (x 50m) which makes it
easier and quicker to install. It is the roofer’s choice, being
cost-effective without conceding in performance.
Monarperm 500 will prove popular with architects too because it
negates the need to blemish the architectural integrity of the
building with additional ventilation.
It will also play a significant role, especially when specified
with ALB 200 air leakage barrier or HLB 200 heat leakage
barrier, in achieving the higher levels of the new Code for
Sustainable Homes.
Monarperm 500’s grey topside is now likely to become as familiar
a sight on roofs throughout the UK and Ireland as Monarperm
700’s blue.
