Klober

Klober, supplier of ventilation and roofing materials

Klober presents itself as the UK's leading supplier of roof ventilation products and is part of the BMI Group, described on its website as Europe's largest manufacturer of flat and pitched roofing and waterproofing solutions. The company distributes a range of products for pitched and flat roofs, with a particular focus on ventilation and weatherproofing solutions.

Roof ventilation

The company claims to have the largest range of tile vents on the market, designed to fit the leading tile manufacturers and to meet different ventilation requirements and roof types. Its catalogue includes eaves ventilation and ventilation solutions for ridge and hip.

Membranes and felts

The pitched roof membrane range is organised into two lines: Everyday membranes, aimed at quality, cost-effective breathable solutions for standard requirements, and Specialist membranes, with specific features for more complex projects. Among the highlighted products is Ultra 120, a mid-weight breathable membrane presented as a quality option at an affordable price. The company also markets vapour control layers and wall layers.

Verge, valleys and lead alternatives

The catalogue includes dry verge and valley solutions, dry ventilation systems for ridge and hip, and a range of lead-free flashing marketed under the Wakaflex and Easyform brands. Klober claims to have developed the first alternative to lead and metal flashing over 25 years ago and manufactures Wakaflex in its own plants. For flat roofs it offers vents and outlets.

New products and technical documentation

Recent additions to the range include the Ultra 120 membrane and the Thin Leading Edge Dry Verge system, designed specifically for thin leading edge tiles and a modern finish to the verge line. The company publishes an annual product guide and maintains a resource centre with technical data sheets, installation instructions, frequently asked questions and guidance on British Standards. Access to product data, images, videos and certificates is managed through the Filecamp platform.

Training and industry engagement

Klober organises training days at its training centre in the East Midlands for installers and distributors, focusing on the fundamentals of roofing and its products. The company also publishes content on industry topics, such as labour shortages, diversity in the trade, ventilation in the training of new installers, overheating in homes and Awaab's Law legislation.

Business profile

The company targets both installers and distributors, and offers a stockist search with a search radius of 10, 20, 30 or 50 miles. Its activity is focused on the UK market.
