ProctorGeo HC8 EnkaVent also offers significant sound reduction from rain impact noise.
When used in conjunction with ProctorWrap or ProctorPassive underlays and tapes this offers a roofing underlay solution for zinc, copper and other standing seam and flat profile roof systems.

ProctorGeo HC8 EnkaVent should be installed in accordance with the product installation guide.
