What lies beneath A new breed of roof underlay makes installation easier and extends durability and performance – Covertek™ is supplied by Thermakraft In the ever-evolving building industry, the most innovative products can often go unseen –take an advanced roof membrane that may improve the quality and warmth of indoor spaces and is easy to install. Thermakraft designs, manufactures and supplies synthetic underlays to the building industry nationwide, says technical and innovation manager Antoni Rajwer. “Thermakraft launched Covertek five years ago – the first fully synthetic roofing underlay on the market. This offers superior durability and performance compared 134 to paper-based bituminous options.” Covertek is transforming methods of roof installation, too, letting roofers install a roof during poor weather without affecting the underlay’s functional integrity. “We also supply the synthetic wall underlay Watergate Plus. This is created to work with all house cladding systems.” Both underlays have been designed and manufactured to reduce condensation risks, and assist in managing moisture. “All our products meet the demanding needs of the New Zealand Building Code search | save | share at my.trendsideas.com and contemporary building techniques.” For further details, contact Thermakraft Industries, phone [phone].
