Novia Polythene Vapour Control Layer 1200 Gauge – 4m x 25m Roll

Description

The Novia 1200 VCL is a high-performance, CPR-compliant vapour control layer designed to limit the passage of water vapour in building structures. Manufactured from virgin grade polythene, this 1200 gauge (300-micron) membrane is intended for use on the interior (warm side) of insulated buildings, where it effectively regulates moisture movement and helps prevent condensation-related structural damage.

Fully CE-approved to EN 13984:2013, this robust VCL provides a superior barrier against water vapour, ensuring optimal building performance and energy efficiency. Without an effective vapour control layer, moisture accumulation within insulation can reduce its effectiveness by up to one-third, leading to higher heating and cooling costs.

Features and Benefits

• 1200 gauge / 300-micron material thickness
• Green tint for easy identification
• Roll dimensions: 4m width x 25m length
• Total roll coverage: 100m²
• Roll weight: 23kg
• Manufactured from virgin polythene for high durability
• Water vapour resistance of at least 700 MNs/g
• Prevents condensation buildup and structural damage
• Improves overall insulation efficiency

This membrane is essential for timber frame construction walls and other vapour-sensitive applications. By integrating the Novia 1200 VCL into your building design, you create a reliable, long-term moisture management system that enhances energy efficiency and maintains the integrity of insulation materials.

Standards and Certification

• CE approved to EN 13984:2013
• Water vapour resistance: at least 700 MNs/g

For best results, use Novia sealing tapes to ensure an airtight and fully effective vapour barrier throughout the building’s lifespan.
