Breathable Membrane Too Tight...Can I Cut and Tape?

[Continue_On]

Hi.

After reading through many posts I have determined that I have a section of breathable membrane in the loft that is too tight...there is no droop and it is obviously streched. Can I provide a droop by cutting the membrane and installing more material in between, using breathable membrane tape to secure it? Or is this surely asking for loads of trouble?

Thanks.

Hassle...
Does your roof have counter battens?
If so taught is fine

Thanks for replying datarebal.
Sadly no, the battens are laid directly onto the rafters on top of the membrane.

Electrical conduit slipped between lap and under batten will give the sag you need / want

If it ain't broke don't try to fix it...
