RoofAquaGuard BREA
A very strong multilayer, breathable, mechanically fastened Synthetic Roofing Underlayment for use on pitched roofs.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Installation Instructions 
CONSTRUCTION:
RoofAquaGuard BREA is a strong multilayer breathable sheet material, with outer layers of Polypropylene, an inner layer of micro-porous Polyethylene film, including reinforcement mesh. RoofAquaGuard BREA is a four-layer vapor permeable roofing underlay for use on pitched roofs. The slip-resistant “Shoe-Grip” top surface offers excellent foot traction. RoofAquaGuard BREA has a Peel & Stick tape on the horizontal laps. RoofAquaGuard BREA is LIGHT, STRONG AND SAFE. Made and proven
in Europe.
VENTILATION:
RoofAquaGuard BREA can be installed above non ventilated cold or warm roof applications (follow local building code) as it is considered a roofing underlayment.
ROOF PITCH:
RoofAquaGuard BREA should not be used on slopes less than 2:12.
LAYING METHOD:
RoofAquaGuard BREA is laid horizontally (parallel) to the eave with the printed side up, and with 4" horizontal laps and 6" vertical laps. (The use of a slip sheet is not required underneath metal roofing.)
FASTENING METHOD:
RoofAquaGuard BREA can be attached to the structural Roof Deck Material using Plastic Cap Staples, or roofing nails, having a minimum of 1" diameter cap, spaced at 12" on vertical and 14" on horizontal. All Plastic, or Steel Caps, must be attached flush with the underlayment surface and nails must be fastened at a 90 degree angle to the deck. Follow the nailing pattern, which is marked by X’s on the product.
BATTEN APPLICATION:
For batten secured applications, the use of plastic cap roofing nails is required only to secure the underlayment and prevent blow off until the batten system is installed. DO NOT USE STAPLES TO SECURE BATTENS!
TILE INSTALLATION:
For tile installations use a pressure sensitive, double sided tape such as MFM. Double Bond tape acting as a self-sealing gasket or an SBS peel and stick foil faced tape, or double sided tape approximately 2" in width, placed underneath the batten (parallel with the batten) to help seal any gaps between the underlayment and the battens.
SITE PROTECTION:
Prior to loading the roofing materials onto the RoofAquaGuard BREA product, it is recommended that a roof jack, with planks, toe boards, or a strong platform be secured to the underlying roofing deck to prevent slippage of stored materials on steep sloped roofs (greater than 4 : 12 pitch). See OSHA Regulations (Standards-29 CFR), Fall Protection Systems Criteria and Practices-926.502.
FINAL INSTALLATION: Installing final roofing within 4 months from initial underlayment application is recommended.
PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS:
Always wear fall protection when working on a roof deck. All underlayments can be slippery when wet, or covered by frost. Follow maximum recommended exposure guidelines when
exposing underlayments to sunlight. Do not fold underlayments over the roof edge unless it is protected by flashing material. Do not install underlayments directly on old roof cladding. Check with the Manufacturer of Metal Roofing, for any special requirements
when underlayment is installed under metal roofing which does not have proper ventilation. Underlayments are air and vapor barriers, therefore always provide proper
roof insulation and ventilation. Repair holes, tears, and damage to membrane with a round patch of membrane
extending past the damaged area 6 inches.
SAFETY, STORAGE AND HANDLING:
Read all product labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for proper handling and disposal. Deliver all materials in manufacturer’s unopened packages. Palletized material should be stacked only two high. Store all materials under cover.
?Avoid prolonged storage above 32°C (90°F).
