Harcon VPU has been designed for simple installation with lap lines for the most common form of installation – partially supported on aaroof with aapitch of 15 - 34º.
Fully Supported System
Lay Harcon VPU over the support with the bright blue side uppermost and secure it to the support or rafters using counter battens a minimum of 12mm thick with corrosion resistant staples or clout nails.The tile battens are fixed to the counter battens leaving a ventilation gap between the Harcon VPU and the tiles.
Unsupported System
Harcon VPU is draped between the rafters as is the traditional method for roof tile underlays.
In both supported and unsupported systems overlaps should be installed to shed water down the slope.
