Product Information
Full details
The Timloc Rafter Roll is an essential ventilation solution for roofing contractors and DIY renovators looking to prevent condensation and moisture buildup within roof spaces. Designed for both new builds and refurbishment projects, this 800mm wide UPVC roll ensures a clear, consistent ventilation path between insulation and roofing felt. While it is highly effective at meeting strict building regulations, users should ensure their roof rafter spacing is compatible with the 800mm width before procurement to avoid unnecessary trimming or overlapping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be performed while the roof felt is accessible, typically before tiling or slate installation. Unroll the product along the length of the rafters, ensuring it is positioned to maintain a clear gap. Use standard heavy-duty staples or nails to secure the edges to the rafters. Because the product is made of vacuum-formed UPVC, it is extremely low maintenance and does not require periodic cleaning or treatment. To ensure long-term performance, avoid puncturing the material during the installation of secondary roofing components.
