Pitched roofs and external wall constructions: Novia Reflex Reflective Roof and Wall Breather is good for use in pitched roofs and external wall constructions because it offers effective moisture protection while allowing for vapour permeability, which is important for maintaining a healthy building structure. Its reflective surface helps to improve the thermal performance, reducing heat loss. This membrane is suitable for timber frame and masonry buildings, making it versatile for different construction types. Its ability to manage both moisture and thermal efficiency makes it an ideal choice for these applications.

What is Novia Reflex Reflective Breather Membrane?

Novia Reflex Reflective Breather Membrane is a high-quality, reflective, vapour-permeable membrane designed for use in roofs and walls. It improves the thermal efficiency of buildings by reflecting radiant heat while allowing moisture to escape, making it ideal for both residential and commercial applications.

What is the Novia Reflex Reflective Breather membrane made from?

Novia Reflex Reflective Breather Membrane is made from a multi-layered combination of polypropylene and aluminium, offering both durability and excellent reflective properties. The aluminium layer helps to reflect heat, while the polypropylene layers ensure the membrane remains breathable and weatherproof.

How do I install Novia Reflex Reflective Breather Membrane?

To install Novia Reflex Reflective Breather Membrane, roll out the membrane across the roof or wall structure, ensuring the reflective side faces outward to maximise heat reflection. Overlap the edges by the recommended amount and secure the membrane using appropriate fixings, such as staples or battens. Make sure the membrane is tensioned correctly to prevent sagging.

Can Novia Reflex Reflective Breather Membrane be used in both walls and roofs?

Yes, Novia Reflex Reflective Breather Membrane is suitable for use in both pitched roofs and walls. It provides excellent thermal efficiency and weather protection in a variety of building applications, making it a versatile choice for different types of construction.
