Application instructions
It is essential to allow heat dissipation and water vapour to escape the roof system through proper ventilation. Therefore, air must be able to circulate freely between insulation and the nailable roof deck, from the eaves to the ridges.
On roof pitches 15°- 40° the minimum net free ventilation area is 33 cm²,
on 41°- 85° min. net free ventilation area is 16 cm² for each 1 m² of insulated ceiling area (P),
always divided evenly between the eaves and the ridge.
What happens to this Turbinevent when subjected to 177 km/h wind-driven rain?
Watch this stringent test.
Application instructions
Install as flat as possible to prevent unevenness from being projected in the shingle surface. Install parallel to the eaves.
Slopes 9,5°- 20°
use IKO Armourbase ECO to provide a double coverage of underlay to the roof deck. Cut a starter strip 50 cm wide and lay succeeding courses fastened with 50 cm horizontal laps and 30 cm end laps.
Slopes 21°- 85°
The entire roof deck should be covered with IKO Armourbase underlay or an approved shingle underlay.
The underlay should be installed parallel to the eaves with a min. 10 cm horizontal lap and 15 cm end laps.
On all IKO Armourbase underlayments there are 10 cm lines on the rolls for easier overlapping.
Secure the underlay with only enough nails to hold it in place.
