Icopal Monarperm reaches an Irish
milestone
Building membranes specialist Icopal is celebrating after notching up sales of two million square metres of its flagship Monarperm roofing membrane in Ireland.
The milestone was achieved with an order from Belfast-based builders' merchants group JP Corry who have 16 branches in the region as well as five in the Republic of Ireland that operate under the Coens and D Kantor brands They supply vapour permeable Monarperm to new-build housing contractors as an underlay for pitched roofs since its vapour permeability eliminates the need for traditional eaves/ridge ventilation
