Suitable for use within the walls of timber frame constructions or for limiting the passage of water vapour, this higher-grade polythene Vapour Control Layer (VCL) is CPR-compliant and CE-approved to EN 13984:2013.
This 1200 gauge virgin grade polythene VCL has been designed for use on the interior (warm side) of insulated buildings to control the flow of water-vapour which is a natural by-product of standard building use.
When not using this membrane within your construction, there is a substantial risk of condensation within the building structure which potentially leads to long-term damage and a short-term significant increase in cooling and heating costs. As low as 3% moisture accumulated within a building's insulation has been shown to adversely impact insulation performance by up to one-third.
Question:
What is the best VCL to use for a domestic application?
Answer:
There are many factors that effect the choice of VCL, Novia VC2, Novia 500 and Novia 1000 are all possible solutions but check with us or your architect for full guidance.
Question:
Are your VCLs airtight?
Answer:
Yes all Novia VCLs are airtight. The joints and overlaps must be taped to maintain a completely airtight installation.
Question:
Do I need tapes with a VCL?
Answer:
Tapes are an essential part of ensuring a VCL is air and moisture tight. Without sealing tapes a VCL would leak and be ineffective.
Question:
Do Novia VCLs have certification?
Answer:
Yes, all Novia VCLs are manufactured to strict BS EN 13984 requirements, which is vital when looking at polythene based VCLs.
