Underfelt
UNVENTILATED UNDERFELTS
Unventilated underfelts are based on diusion open materials
that are positioned directly on the insulating material. The small
amounts of moisture that via diusion through the vapour barrier
percolate through from the interior of the building to the roof con-
struction continue through the underfelt material. From here the
moisture is removed by the ventilation under the roofing material.
As diusion is not by far as eective as ventilation, it is very
important that the vapour barrier is absolutely airtight. The diu-
sion capacity of the underfelt is not sucient to compensate for
leakages in the vapour barrier.
VELUX underfelt collar BFX is made of diusion open material and
can thus be used for unventilated underfelts. The method for fitting
the underfelt collar is the same for ventilated and unventilated
underfelts.
