BreatherQuilt

 

Formerly, all customers and re-sellers who purchased BreatherQuilt had to also buy Double Sided Tape, to be able to install BreatherQuilt. This year and going forward we are selling our BreatherQuilt product with Double Sided Tape already on the product.

How to install BreatherQuilt – Counter Batten

Start at the bottom of the roof and proceed by working horizontally, using a min of 14mm staples staple BreatherQuilt to the rafter – making sure you pull the insulation taught and continue across the roof.

BreatherQuilt should extend over the eaves (where the part of a roof meets or overhangs the walls of a building).

Install 25mm battens, parallel with the rafters.

Proceed with either your tiles or slate battens.

 

How to install BreatherQuilt – Draped, without counter batten

Starting at the bottom edge of the roof and working horizontally across the rafters, staple BreatherQuilt using a minimum of 14mm staples. The BreatherQuilt should hang down between the centre of all rafter spaces so that there is a 10mm drape once the tile battens have been installed.

The BreatherQuilt should extend over the eaves.

Finish by tiling / installing slate / slate battens.
