Insulated wall or roof applications where high moisture vapour resistance is required: Novia VC4000 FR Reflective AVCL is suitable for use in insulated wall or roof applications where high moisture vapour resistance is required for the following reasons:

1. High Moisture Vapour Resistance: It provides excellent resistance to moisture vapour, effectively controlling its movement through building structures. This helps to protect insulation materials and building elements from moisture-related issues.
2. Reflective Surface: The reflective layer enhances thermal performance by reflecting heat back into the building, contributing to improved energy efficiency and reducing heat loss.
3. Fire Resistance: The fire-resistant properties make it suitable for applications where enhanced safety standards are necessary.

What is Novia VC200 Reflective AVCL?

Novia VC200 Reflective AVCL (Air and Vapour Control Layer) is a high-performance, reflective membrane designed to control air and vapour movement while reflecting heat to enhance building energy efficiency. It combines advanced vapour control with reflective properties to improve thermal insulation and reduce energy costs.

What are the main benefits of using Novia VC200 Reflective AVCL? - Novia VC200 Reflective AVCL offers several key benefits, including excellent vapour control, enhanced thermal insulation through its reflective surface, and improved energy efficiency. It helps prevent moisture ingress and reduces heat loss, contributing to lower heating and cooling costs.

How should Novia VC200 Reflective AVCL be installed?

To install Novia VC200 Reflective AVCL, ensure that 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 by at least 100mm and seal all joints and penetrations with suitable Novia sealing tape to ensure a continuous and effective barrier.

Can Novia VC200 Reflective AVCL be used in both walls and roofs?

Yes, Novia VC200 Reflective AVCL is versatile and can be used in both wall and roof applications. Its reflective properties and vapour control make it effective in various parts of the building envelope.
