The A. Proctor Group has, for nearly 50 years, been serving the construction industry with an extensive portfolio of thermal, acoustic and membrane products. The Group provides a wide range of high quality solutions that comply with the continuously evolving requirements of the construction industry. Our commitment to keeping pace with this evolution has led to the group’s expansion, today encompassing five individual divisions.
This diversity gives us the ability to consider buildings holistically, and hence to develop systems that complement each other across a wide range of sectors.
Our close links with the industry, both academics and construction professionals, combined with our broad in house knowledge base gives us the ability to anticipate and create in whichever sectors we choose to compete.
We provide solutions for:
Condensation Control
The A. Proctor Group has been developing vapour permeable membranes and vapour control layers for over 25 years and have condensation control solutions for all areas of the building envelope.
Moisture vapour will pass through the various layers of any construction by both convection and diffusion. The objective is to ensure, by design, that the moisture vapour can disperse to the outside atmosphere without being cooled to below dewpoint temperature, thus eliminating condensation and associated problems such as mould growth.

Airtightness in Buildings
Our range of Wraptite external air barriers solve the problem of reliably achieving airtightness in buildings, with a robust two component solution comprising Wraptite & Wraptite Tape. This new approach saves on both the labour and material costs associated with meeting the demands of modern energy efficiency requirements in both commercial and residential buildings. Moving the air barrier to the outside of the building, away from the ‘services zone’ means there are far fewer potential penetrations to the air barrier and that there is no requirement for expensive specialist components such as airtight junction boxes, light switches or downlighter hoods. Wraptite is a unique external airtight solution, which is not only highly vapour permeable, yet airtight – but also self-adhered to ensure a consistent airtight external seal.

Fire Solutions in Buildings
Due to the tragic event at the Grenfell Tower in 2017 and subsequent building fires in the UK, Facades and Fire Safety has, rightly so, elicited increased focus on the fire performance of products used in the constructions of today. It has had a huge impact on the high-rise sector and has resulted in one of the biggest changes in Regulation 7 and Approved Document B (ADB) that has been experienced for a number of years.

Proctor Air® Brings Benefits of Modern Technology to Traditional Scottish Roofs
An architect’s home near Dundee is seeing the benefits of its new roof underlay – even though the reroofing hasn’t finished yet. Neil Simpson, a Partner at Wellwood Leslie Architects, is fitting the Proctor Air® himself while renovating the roof of his stone-walled property built in 1902.
“Proctor Air has been excellent,” explained Neil. “It is relatively easy to install, and has protected us from the weather. The wind used to whistle through the roof before, but we’ve seen a difference straight away in reducing that infiltration.”
Using Proctor Air to Protect Against the Elements – During and After Reroofing
Situated in an exposed location overlooking the River Tay, the house is subject to the elements. As Neil has continued to live in the property during the work, the underlay had to be capable of protecting the property and its occupants.
Proctor Air has a water resistance classification of W1, and its BBA certificate states the hydrostatic head is greater than 1m. This water hold-out performance means Proctor Air can be left exposed for up to three months (although should not be relied upon as being waterproof).
As the frequency and intensity of extreme weather increases, roofs and their underlays need to be capable of withstanding more severe levels of rainfall. A hydrostatic head of at least 1m is the minimum that an underlay should be capable of.
While the reroofing work has not experienced too much rain, there have been strong winds. Proctor Air can be used in wind zones 1-4 without additional measures such as taping joints or additional battens.
What Advantages Does Proctor Air Offer During Installation?
Other advantages of Proctor Air are its Mullen burst strength and slip resistance performance.
Mullen burst assesses the strength of a fabric, and is a measure of how robust the membrane is during the construction phase. Proctor Air achieves an excellent result. Compared to similar membranes, Proctor Air also achieves a high coefficient of friction, giving slip resistance for increased safety during installation (alongside normal safe roofing practices).
Neil noticed these advantages while working on his roof. He said: “The ability to strip the roof in stages and work in sections, with the slater following on, has been beneficial. Proctor Air has proved very durable, which is what you need when you’re on the roof and working on the membrane.”
Combining Traditional Scottish Construction with Modern Building Performance
The roof of Neil’s home featured traditional sarking boards, horsehair felt, and Scotch slates. The sarking boards were retained, complete with gaps between them, and repaired where necessary.
Being both air and vapour permeable, Proctor Air supports the controlled movement of moisture through the sarking board and underlay layers to the external environment. Consequently, it inhibits the formation of condensation in the pitched roof, to the point where it’s virtually impossible for condensation to occur under normal conditions.
As Neil observes, there are hundreds of properties in Scotland with roofs like this. That includes most of the village where the house is located. “We need to make use of modern products and technology,” he says. Proctor Air provides consistent ventilation across the whole roof, so Neil didn’t have to install plastic ventilation products that would have detracted from the traditional appearance of the property.
Working with a manufacturer who understands Scottish slating practice gave Neil added confidence. “I’m delighted to see a local company being innovative and creating useful products. The A. Proctor Group has always been that way.”
