Novia 500 Gauge FR Virgin is a high-performance, fire-rated air and vapour control layer (AVCL) designed to improve the thermal performance and longevity of modern buildings. Manufactured as a single-ply blown polythene material, this virgin grade membrane offers superior consistency and strength compared to recycled alternatives.
This virgin grade polythene is a milky white, translucent membrane specifically engineered for use in timber frame constructions and other structural framework projects. By acting as a robust air leakage barrier, it significantly minimises air leakage and energy heat losses, ensuring long-term energy efficiency for the building envelope. The membrane has good moisture vapour resistance an is ideal for applications where there is a moderate risk of interstitial condensation.
The material meets EN 13984 and is CE marked. Novia® 500 Gauge FR Virgin Polythene complies to EN 13501-1 Fire Classification B-s1,d0*.
Key Features
- Premium Quality: A single-ply blown polythene vapour control layer made from virgin grade resins, ensuring a high-quality, uniform finish.
- Fire Safety: This FR (Fire Rated) membrane is a Class B fire-rated material, providing enhanced safety in the event of a fire.
- Compliance: The Novia 500 VCL is fully CPR compliant, meets EN 13984, and is CE marked for use in the UK and European markets.
- Superior Protection: Offers good moisture vapour resistance, protecting the building fabric against the risk of interstitial condensation.
Applications
Novia 500g FR Virgin Grade Polythene is suitable for use in a variety of construction environments:
- Insulated Wall & Roof Applications: Ideal for use within an insulated wall or roof to prevent warm, moist air from reaching the cold side of the insulation.
