Klober Permo ® air gets public sector
performance recognition
Klober has received a significant boost for its market-leading low resistance
air-open underlay Permo® air with certification by Local Authority Building
Control (LABC) for its Registered Details scheme.
Designed to meet this requirement and prevent condensation forming in
the roofspace, Klober Permo® air offers an exceptional level of breathability.
It has a water vapour transmission sd-Value of 0.009m and a water vapour
resistance confirmed to be as low as 0.045 MNs/g. As a result, it has been
specified for roofing upgrades of many high profile and historic buildings.
For new builds, particularly those with complex roof designs, underlay
performance is put under greatest strain during the critical drying out
period. Permo® air’s use on both cold and warm roof installations avoids the
additional cost of supporting ventilation and offers the additional benefit of
having been tested for wind uplift resistance by the BRE.
BBA and IAB approved, Permo® air not only avoids the additional cost of
supporting ventilation, but also interruptions in the roofline caused by
traditional tile or slate vents. Being manufactured from polypropylene, it is
also fully recyclable.

New protective adjustable threshold
Yeovil-based
Cavity Trays Ltd
has developed a
ready-to-use
solution to
eliminate a
reoccurring
construction
problem when
building on
contaminated
land. Originally
conceived for
Radon gas situations, it is called the Type PAT - Protective Adjustable
Threshold.
Using flexible DPC requires support from higher courses and creates
a cumbersome arrangement in which achieving a gas and water-tight
arrangement that links with threshold and closers is difficult.
The Type PAT eliminates this problem.
The new Protective Adjustable Threshold (Type PAT) from Cavity Trays
provides both gas and water protection under and to the sides of
every opening and does so in a way that eliminates discontinuity and
provides adjustable connection with adjacent barriers.
The Type PAT – Protective Adjustable Threshold – is a threedimensional
DPC unit that is bedded within the external wall opening.
Integration between wall barriers and the Type PAT is achieved using
the adjustable side connectors that attach to the Type PAT and slide
up and down to the requisite level.
