Insulated wall, roof, and floor applications in timber-framed dwellings: Novia VC2 AVCL (Air and Vapour Control Layer) is good to use in insulated wall, roof, and floor applications in timber-framed dwellings as it helps manage both air and vapour movement within the structure. It provides an effective barrier, reducing the risk of condensation build-up, which is crucial in maintaining the performance of insulation and preventing moisture-related damage. This control enhances the overall energy efficiency of timber-framed buildings by ensuring a well-sealed envelope, crucial for long-term durability and thermal performance.

What is Novia VC2 AVCL?

Novia VC2 AVCL (Air and Vapour Control Layer) is a high-performance, reinforced membrane designed to control the passage of air and water vapour in building structures. It helps improve energy efficiency and moisture management by creating a barrier that prevents air leakage and condensation buildup within walls, roofs, and floors.

What materials is Novia VC2 AVCL suitable for?

Novia VC2 AVCL can be used with a wide range of construction materials, including timber, metal, brick, and concrete. It is ideal for installation in walls, roofs, and floors where controlling air and moisture is critical.

How do I install Novia VC2 AVCL?

To install Novia VC2 AVCL, ensure that the surfaces are clean and dry. Unroll the membrane and fix it to the building structure using appropriate fixings such as staples or battens. Overlap the edges and seal the joints with an appropriate sealing tape, such as Novia Double-Sided Lap Tape, to ensure airtightness.

• Can Novia VC2 AVCL be used on both walls and roofs? - Yes, Novia VC2 AVCL is versatile and can be used in both wall and roof applications. It provides a continuous vapour and air control layer across various parts of the building structure, improving the overall airtightness and energy efficiency.

Do I need any additional products when installing Novia VC2 AVCL?

For optimal performance, it is recommended to use compatible tapes, such as Novia Breather Membrane Lap Tape, to seal all overlaps and penetrations. This ensures an airtight installation that prevents air and vapour leaks.
