Proctor Group provides an ‘Air’ of luxury on new home development

The first site development by a new luxury housebuilder is benefiting from Proctor Group’s Proctor Air® underlay on the pitched roof.

Braddus Homes is a small housing developer set up by childhood friends who wanted to offer something different to the volume housebuilding companies they had previously worked for. Their first development is Priory Fields, a site of four homes, each with five bedrooms.

The company has set out to deliver excellence as standard and needed to ensure the materials they sourced would match their premium approach to housebuilding, right from their very first project. Their homes are marketed as luxury, exclusive and high specification – and they needed every detail to meet this high standard to ensure complete customer satisfaction.

For developers of small housing sites looking to differentiate themselves in the marketplace, offering a high-end product means spending money in the right places. That includes using the best products that provide the performance they promise.

For the pitched roof specification, Braddus Homes therefore chose to use Proctor Group’s air permeable, low resistance underlay Proctor Air.

As an air permeable, low resistance (APLR) underlay Proctor Air allows the passage of both air and moisture vapour. This combination of qualities reduces condensation risk in roofs and avoids the need for separate roof ventilation products, as the underlay provides a more consistent flow of air than standard roof vent products.

Proctor Air has a BBA certificate, and has been assessed against the Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI). The underlay is also one of six Proctor Group products covered by an environmental performance declaration (EPD).

Furthermore, as developers and housebuilders grapple with best practice around using solar PV on new homes, Proctor Group has published industry leading guidance around the use of Proctor Air with integrated solar panels.
