Within the walls of timber frame constructions or where vapour control is needed: Novia 1200G AVCL (Air and Vapour Control Layer) is good to use within the walls of timber frame constructions or where vapour control is needed because it effectively regulates the passage of water vapour through the building envelope. By providing a strong barrier against moisture, it prevents condensation from forming within the structure, protecting insulation and timber from potential dampness and damage. This control helps to maintain the thermal efficiency of the building and contributes to the long-term integrity of the construction.

What is Novia 1200G VCL?

Novia 1200G VCL (Vapour Control Layer) is a high-strength, reinforced membrane designed to manage the movement of water vapour within building structures. It acts as a barrier to prevent moisture from penetrating and condensing within the construction, enhancing both energy efficiency and building durability.

What are the main benefits of using Novia 1200G VCL?

Novia 1200G VCL offers superior vapour resistance and durability. It helps to reduce the risk of condensation and moisture damage by providing a robust barrier against water vapour. This improves energy efficiency, extends the lifespan of building materials, and maintains a healthier indoor environment.

What types of construction is Novia 1200G VCL suitable for?

Novia 1200G VCL is suitable for use in a variety of construction types, including timber-frame, masonry, and concrete buildings. It can be applied in walls, roofs, and floors to provide effective vapour control and prevent moisture-related issues.

How should Novia 1200G VCL be installed?

To install Novia 1200G VCL, ensure that surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust. Unroll the membrane and fix it using appropriate methods, such as staples or battens. Overlap the edges by at least 100mm and seal all joints and penetrations with Novia sealing tape to ensure a continuous and effective vapour barrier.
