Breather Membrane - small quantity wanted

[stefj]

I want to clad a timber framed wall underneath a rectangular bay window with pvc shiplap cladding (probably Kestrel). The Kestrel guide says I should waterproof the plywood substrate with a breather membrane. I need a piece approx 3 metres x 1 metre. I’ve looked online and products such as Kingspan Nilvent, Tyvek and Klober seem suitable but they only seem to be sold in large rolls.

Can anyone suggest where I might get a 3m x 1m piece?


Thanks


Stef

Look out for someone doing a roof and ask them to cut you off a bit.

The manufacturers used to send you out an ickle sample if you asked them, maybe you could contact all of them and you could sew them together like a patchwork quilt?

Where are you based Stef? You never know a forum member might be local to you.

Stef,
ebay? I only found one seller.
Is this the right stuff being sold by the metre?

Thanks all for your replies

Stuart - I'll keep a lookout for a local roof job.

SFK - thanks for the eBay link. not sure about the membrane I'll look it up.
there's a membrane called Cromar Vent 3 sold by the metre. does anyone know if this is okay?

thanks

I'm using vent3 and it's the main one my local merchant stocks so I'm sure it's fine

Vent3- me too. I have a quarter roll left but I'm down in berks

 

[stefj]

That's good to know- I'll get some vent3 off eBay.

Thanks again

Stef
