ProctorGeo HC8 Enkavent Spacer Mat

The ProctorGeo HC8 EnkaVent® Drainage Spacer Mat (1.02m x 75m), manufactured from polyamide (PA), is purpose built for use in metal roofs where a spacer layer is crucial to facilitate ventilation and drainage for prolonged durability.

Resilient against the demands of construction environments, including foot traffic during installation, this mat ensures longevity and ease of use.

Installed between the metal roof and ProctorWrap/ProctorPassive vapour permeable roofing underlays, the HC8 EnkaVent remains dimensionally stable in hot weather conditions and retains flexibility in cold climates.

With an open structure boasting 95% void space, the HC8 EnkaVent fosters uninterrupted airspace, fostering multidirectional ventilation and drainage. This reduces the risk of moisture-related issues like corrosion, ice damming, and mildew, ensuring enhanced longevity for roofing systems.

Additionally, Proctor HC8 EnkaVent substantially diminishes impact noise, contributing to soundproof metal roofs. When paired with ProctorWrap or ProctorPassive underlays, it offers a comprehensive roofing underlay solution for zinc, copper, and other standing seam and flat profile roof systems.

ProctorGeo HC8 EnkaVent is an equivalent substitute to use in place of ProctorGeo HC9 where specified and used as a drainage spacer mat under metal roofing or behind standing seam wall cladding. Where used in an acoustic application, the reduction in impact noise results will differ between the two products so full test reports across all frequencies must be consulted.

Key Features & Advantages

• Provides a permanent drainage channel for condensate or moisture that may get under the roof sheet.
• Provides space for continuous air movement between the roof deck/underlay and metal roof.
• Reduces corrosion risk— of particular importance with zinc or galvanized steel roof sheets.
• Roll area - 76.5m2
• UV resistant during installation but should be covered as soon as possible, and not left exposed to UV for longer than  2 weeks.
• Reduction in rain and hail impact noise on metal roofing of up to 24.8dB.
• Allows for movement of the roof sheet under temperature fluctuations.
• Contributes to reduction in temperature of the roof substrate in summer conditions.
• Allows for evaporation of moisture from the roofing structure when used in conjunction with ProctorWrap and ProctorPassive Wraptite SA vapour permeable (breathable) membranes.
• Flexible and lightweight for ease of install.
• Easily cut with scissors or knife.
• Declaration of CE Conformity.
