energy efficient

Icopal is the world's leading producer of

membranes for roofing. We have 29

manufacturing plants in Europe and America

and distribute our products through 79

subsidiaries in Europe, America, the Middle

East and Asia.

From our UK head office in Manchester, and

through a national network of 2,200

distributors, we offer the UK construction

industry the most complete range of

construction membranes backed by support

services and insurance-backed guarantees.

We combine the resources of an international

company with intimate knowledge of the

requirements of local markets. We work with

construction industry professionals to identify

problems and develop solutions for better

buildings - solutions which are innovative,

sometimes unique.

Icopal has pioneered the use of membrane

technology to improve building performance

by controlling the movement of water, air and

heat. Designers can rely on Icopal membrane

systems to produce energy efficient,

sustainable buildings.

Vapour open membranes

Icopal has produced vapour open membranes

since the 1970s, when we pioneered the

concept of membranes which are vapour

open, watertight and airtight. Monarperm 700

is the latest addition to the Icopal family of

membranes.

Monarperm pitched roof systems

The construction of efficient pitched roofs

requires consideration of the performance of

all the materials involved and their interaction;

it is not sufficient to rely solely upon any one

component. In order to assist designers in the

creation of high performance pitched roofs,

Icopal offers several pitched roof systems.

Each system comprises membrane and

accessories which give the best performance

for any given roof type. The following pages

provide details of those materials and

accessories and describe the key design

considerations for each type of roof.

Airtight: Monarperm 700 helps prevent

the displacement by the wind of roofing

tiles and slates.

Watertight: Any wind-driven rain or snow

which penetrates the tiles or slates is

stopped by the Monarperm 700 underlay and

drains safely down to gutters.

Vapour open: Monarperm 700 allows

water vapour arising from the occupied

space to diffuse safely to atmosphere;

it prevents the build up of high concentrations

of water vapour, so reducing the likelihood

of harmful condensation.

The performance of Monarperm pitched

roof systems can be enhanced by the use

of Monarperm air leakage barriers (ALB):

they are:-

Airtight: Monarperm air leakage barriers

reduce air movement through the roof,

cutting convection heat losses resulting

from air infiltration. Such heat losses can

represent as much as half the total heat

loss through the roof.

Vapour tight: Monarperm air leakage

barriers reduce the transmission of water

vapour from the occupied space into the

roof structure.

By preventing the build up of moisture

within the roof Monarperm air leakage

barriers minimise the risk of interstitial

condensation.

Heat reflective: When fixed on one face

of an unvented cavity Monarperm HLB

200 reflects much of the heat radiated

across that cavity. The reduction in

radiation heat transfer can make a 10%

improvement in the thermal performance

of the roof.

Monarperm Eaves Guard

Monarperm Eaves Guard is designed to prevent

ponding behind a fascia board (see BRE Defect

Action Sheet 9); and to eliminate the need for a

tilting fillet. It also protects Monarperm 700 from

prolonged exposure to UV light at eaves.

Monarperm Eaves Guard EG300 is suitable for

roof pitches down to 12.5º. Monarperm Eaves

Guard can be installed before or after the gutter.

Monotape

Monotape is a double sided acrylic tape for

joining laps in Monarperm 700 to form a

continuous vapour open underlay.

Monobond

Monobond is a permanently flexible butyl strip

designed to remain flexible at temperatures down

to -40ºC with an application temperature of +5˚C

and above. It is ideal for joining polyethylene

membranes - such as Monarperm 700 and

Monarperm ALB 200. It should be used to seal

laps to form vapour control layers and air leakage

barriers and to seal them to adjoining elements.

Monosleeve

Monosleeve is a flexible sleeve designed to seal

service penetrations through Monarperm ALB

200 and Monarperm HLB 200. The rubber sleeve

fits tightly around the pipe or cable whilst the self-

adhesive base forms an airtight seal with the

membrane. Monosleeve is available in a wide

range of sizes to accommodate most situations.

Back to basics

A fundamental requirement of any building

is that it should provide a suitable internal

climate for the occupants and their

activities: that will usually involve keeping

the weather out, keeping heat in, avoiding

a build-up of moisture and providing

sufficient fresh air. Building Regulations

stipulate the following requirements:

� Part L in England and Wales

(Section 6 of the Technical

Handbooks in Scotland, Technical

Booklet C in Northern Ireland)

- designers must limit carbon dioxide

emissions by conserving energy. In

addition to addressing heat losses by

conduction through the building

elements, designers must consider

thermal bridging at junctions and the

effects of air infiltration upon overall

building performance.

� Part C in England and Wales

(Sections 3.10 and 3.15 in Scotland,

Technical Booklet C in Northern

Ireland)

- buildings must be designed to resist

water penetration and avoid damaging

condensation.

� Part F in England and Wales

(Section 3.14 in Scotland, Technical

Booklet K in Northern Ireland)

- there must be sufficient ventilation for

the building occupants.

Conventional methods

The conventional approach has been to tackle

those requirements separately, and accept the

resultant inefficiencies. For example, the

conventional solution to harmful condensation

in pitched roofs has been to vent the airspace

beneath the impermeable underlay. Whilst that

does prevent condensation it also increases

the rate of heat loss through the roof and

encourages air infiltration into the occupied

space.

As the requirements of the regulations are

tightened such a piecemeal approach will not

suffice: specifiers must adopt a holistic approach

to the management of heat, air and moisture.

Holistic design

The key to achieving holistic solutions for

pitched roofs is to identify the external and

internal control planes for each building

element and use materials with the right

combination of properties to form those

planes.

The external control plane on a pitched roof

should:

� Protect against water ingress - a

waterproof membrane is required

behind discontinuous roofing units

such as slates and tiles.

� Reduce unnecessary air movement

from outside to inside, so improving

the thermal performance of the

roof.

� Allow any moisture which does

diffuse from the occupied space

into the roof to pass safely into

atmosphere.

Those requirements can best be met by

using Monarperm 700 watertight / airtight /

vapour-open membrane.

The internal control plane should prevent air

filtration through the construction in order

to:

� Reduce convection heat loss

� Prevent vapour transfer by diffusion

Those requirements can best be met by

using Monarperm ALB200 vapour-tight

airtight membrane.

The use of Monarperm HLB 200 to form

the internal control plane will also:

� limit radiation heat loss

The figure below shows the balance of properties required in a roof construction.

Adopting membranes to form control planes, and correctly detailing their

junctions, enables designers to create weatherproof, draught-free buildings

which will be energy efficient and free from condensation.

Once air infiltration has been addressed, designers can set about providing

correct levels of ventilation.

Monarperm warm roof system

Eaves

Insulation

Monarperm 700

MonarflexEaves Guard

CounterbattenThe Monarperm warm

pitched roof system

In warm pitched roofs

insulation is installed in

the plane of the rafters:

over and between the

rafters, wholly between

the rafters, or between

and beneath the

rafters. Warm pitched

roofs may be used to

provide an additional

storey, to form a

cathedral roof or to give

a conditioned roof void.

The Monarperm warm

roof system uses

Monarperm 700 to form

the external control

plane and Monarperm

ALB 200 or Monarperm

HLB 200 as the internal

control plane.

In the Monarperm warm roof system

Monarperm 700 prevents water

penetration, reduces air infiltration and

allows any water vapour within the

structure to escape. To obtain maximum

benefit from the system all laps in

Monarperm 700 should be sealed with

Monotape; junctions between the

membrane and adjoining elements should

be sealed with Monotape or Monobond.

Monarperm 700 is fixed by

counterbattens: they allow water to drain

from the roof and form a deeper air space

to aid the dispersal of water vapour. The

gaps between tiles and natural slates

provide sufficient air paths for water vapour

to disperse to atmosphere: for tighter

coverings it may be necessary to vent the

batten space at the top and bottom of

each slope (see BS 5250 section 8.4.2.1.2

for guidance).

Monarperm ALB 200, or Monarperm HLB

200, reduces air infiltration and prevents

water vapour generated within the

occupied space entering the roof. Icopal

recommends the membrane be fixed to

the underside of the rafters with battens.

The voids formed by the battens enable

services to be installed without penetration

of the membrane and, if used in

conjunction with Monarperm HLB 200,

reduce radiation heat loss.

All laps in Monarperm ALB 200 or

Monarperm HLB 200, and junctions

with other elements should be

sealed with Monobond. Service

penetrations should be formed

with Monosleeve.

In the Monarperm sealed cold roof system

Monarperm 700 prevents water

penetration, reduces air infiltration and

allows any water vapour within the

structure to escape. To obtain maximum

benefit from the system the membrane

should be laid taut and all laps in

Monarperm 700 should be sealed with

Monotape; junctions between the

membrane and adjoining elements should

be sealed with Monobond.

Monarperm 700 is fixed by

counterbattens; they allow water to drain

from the roof and form a deeper air space

to aid the dispersal of water vapour. The

gaps between tiles and natural slates

provide sufficient air paths for water vapour

to disperse to atmosphere: for tighter

coverings it may be necessary to vent the

batten space at the top and bottom of

each slope (see BS 5250 section 8.4.2.1.2

for guidance). There is no need to maintain

ventilation paths at eaves; they may be

packed with insulation to reduce thermal

bridging.

Whilst the system will work satisfactorily

with a well sealed ceiling (see page 12), its

performance may be enhanced by forming

an internal control plane with

Monarperm ALB 200, which will

reduce air infiltration and prevent

the transfer of water vapour to

the loft by diffusion.

10

Monarperm Sealed Cold Roof System

The Monarperm sealedcold roof system

In cold roofs insulation is

laid at ceiling line, between

and above the joists, with

the loft and roof structure

outside the insulated

envelope giving rise to a

risk of harmful condensation.

The Monarperm sealed

cold roof system eliminates

that risk by using

Monarperm 700 as a

vapour open external

control plane and

Monarperm ALB 200 as a

vapour-tight internal control

plane. There is no need to

vent the loft to atmosphere.

With no ventilation, the air

in the loft forms a buffer

which reduces air infiltration

to the loft both from outside

and from the occupied

space; that, in turn,

reduces moisture transfer

into the loft and cuts

convection heat loss.

The Monarperm sealed

cold roof system is suitable

for use with board sarking

with at least 5mm gaps

between boards (for sheet

sarking see page 12).

Monarperm Vented Cold Roof System

The Monarpermvented cold roofsystem

The Monarperm vented

cold roof system offers a

conventional solution to the

control of condensation in

the roof.

Whilst ventilation of the loft

will generally prevent the

occurrence of harmful

condensation it also results

in unnecessary heat loss

through air infiltration and a

reduction in the

effectiveness of fibrous

thermal insulation in the loft.

Monarperm 700 may be

used in exactly the same

way as 1F felt, but is easier

to install as it is lighter and

handles better on the roof.

Well sealed ceilings

The following measures are essential for

achieving a well sealed ceiling:

� access hatches should be adequatelysealed and not sited in kitchens orbathrooms;

� the heads of wall cavities should besealed;

� the ceiling should be sealed to the externalwalls;

� penetrations for services should bepermanently sealed with Monosleeve;

� recessed light fittings should be airtight or be hooded or boxed.

(see BS 5250 section 8.4.1.2 for furtherguidance)

In the Monarperm vented cold roof system

Monarperm 700 should be draped over

the rafters leaving a minimum 25mm gap

between the membrane the underside of

the tiling/slating battens to allow water to

drain from the roof.

The Monarperm vented cold roof

system is suitable for roofs which

include board or sheet sarking. In

a conventional sarked roof the

slates would be nailed to the sarking,

puncturing the membrane in many

places: that may be avoided by fixing

counterbattens and slating battens to

the sarking and then slating the roof (see

page 13).

Ventilation should be provided in

accordance with BS 5250 section

8.4.2.2.3 (summarised in the figures on

page 13). The depth of insulation required

to meet Part L - approximately 300mm -

can make it difficult to maintain a clear air

path at eaves: designers should consider

alternative locations for vents, such as

gable walls.

A well sealed ceiling is recommended to

minimise the transfer of water vapour into

the loft by air infiltration. The installation of

Monarperm ALB 200 between the ceiling

and the insulation would reduce further the

amount of water vapour reaching the loft.

There are three methods of installing

Monarperm 700: designers should select the

method suitable for the specified roof

system.

Monarperm Eaves Guard

� Fit Monarperm Eaves Guard over the

fascia and arrange so water cannot pond.

� Nail Monarperm Eaves Guard to the

rafters.

� Form laps at rafters. Seal the whole width

of the lap with Monobond.

� The eaves batten must be level or higher

than the top of the fascia board.

Monarperm 700 - supported oninsulation or sarking

� Fit Monarperm Eaves Guard.

� Lay the first run of Monarperm 700, blue

side up and parallel to the eaves. Lap
