The first site development by a new luxury housebuilder is benefiting from Proctor Group’s Proctor Air underlay on the pitched roof.
Braddus Homes is a small housing developer set up by childhood friends who wanted to offer something different to the volume housebuilding companies they had previously worked for. The first development is Priory Fields, a site of four homes, each with five bedrooms.
The company has set out to deliver excellence as standard and needed to ensure the materials they sourced would match their premium approach to housebuilding. The homes are marketed as luxury, exclusive and high specification – and they needed every detail to meet this high standard.
For the pitched roof specification, Braddus Homes therefore chose to use Proctor Group’s air permeable, low resistance underlay Proctor Air. As an air permeable, low resistance (APLR) underlay Proctor Air allows the passage of both air and moisture vapour. This reduces condensation risk in roofs and avoids the need for separate roof ventilation products, as the underlay provides a more consistent flow of air.
Proctor Air has a BBA certificate, and has been assessed against the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI). The underlay is also one of six Proctor Group products covered by an Environmental Performance Declaration (EPD).
As developers and housebuilders grapple with best practice around using solar PV on new homes, Proctor Group has published guidance around the use of Proctor Air with integrated solar panels. proctorgroup.com
