Introducing HYDRA Roof Underlay

HYDRA Roof Underlay completes the Marshal Weatherization System, a system that combines a range of respected products to form a secure construction envelope.

HYDRA Roof Underlay is fitted over the roof framing members. HYDRA Wall or TEKTON Wall Underlay is fixed directly to the outside of the framing. Wall Underlay over the openings is then cut and fixed to the inside face of the framing. Tekton SEAM TAPE is applied over the seams and Protecto Wrap, Super-Stick or the ProtectoSill System is installed around the joinery openings.

TRADE-SEALs are fitted over pipe and conduit penetrations through the building envelope to provide an air and moisture seal.

With superior strength, water holdout and flexibility with ease of installation, the Marshal Weatherization System meets and exceeds the requirements of the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) Clause B2 Durability and Clause E2 External Moisture.

Marshall Innovations works closely with architects and councils throughout the design phase to provide systems and solutions that deliver a weather tight building envelope. Marshall Innovations technicians are able to visit sites offering advice, product education & support, ensuring systems are installed to manufacturers specification.

Marshall Innovations products and systems are available through leading building merchants and has a nationwide network of certified installers.
