External wall constructions and roof systems: Novia Class B-s1,d0 FR Breather Membrane is good for use in external wall constructions and roof systems where enhanced fire resistance is required because it offers superior fire performance with its Class B-s1,d0 rating, which means it provides excellent resistance to fire spread and minimal smoke production. This membrane helps to prevent the spread of flames in the event of a fire, contributing to the overall safety of the building. Additionally, it acts as a weatherproof barrier, protecting against water ingress while allowing moisture vapour to escape, which helps maintain the structural integrity and energy efficiency of the building. This combination of fire resistance and breathability makes it ideal for use in both timber frame and masonry constructions where compliance with stringent fire safety regulations is essential.
