About ProctorGeo HC8 EnkaVent

The ProctorGeo HC8 EnkaVent Drainage Spacer Mat, crafted 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. Its anti-slip-sheet properties during installation enhance panel placement comfort and safety.

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

Moreover, HC8 EnkaVent facilitates expansion movement due to temperature variations, allowing hot air to escape and acting as a thermal separator, creating a temperature difference of up to 5.5°C between the metal roof and the underlay. This feature significantly reduces cooling costs in hot climates while preventing moisture freezing in cold climates, thereby minimizing potential roof deck damage.

Additionally, ProctorGeo 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.
