How to install breathable roof membrane.

When installing clay or other tiles vertically on a timber frame a breathable or vapour permeable membrane is used to prevent moisture snow and wind from penetrating into the frame. You would usually use them within external wall and roof structures in which the exterior cladding may not be completely water tight or moisture resistant such as in tiled roofs or framed wall constructions. They work by allowing insulated structures to easily release excess moisture vapour into the atmosphere. Breather membranes otherwise known as breathable membranes are used within external wall and roof constructions in order to prevent damp in buildings.

Breathable membranes are water resistant as well as resistant to snow and dust but air permeable. Breather membranes or breathable membranes can be used to keep the internal components of wall and roof structures dry. Timber frame breather membranes have been manufactured specifically for application onto timber frame buildings they are lighter and thinner than a normal breather membrane allowing for easy installation vertically as well as horizontally meaning that they are suitable for both walls and roofs.
