Novia STRP Reinforced Vapour Control Layer 2m x 50m Roll

Novia STRP (Super Tough Reinforced Polythene) Reinforced Vapour Control Layer is a high specification, very strong, flame resistant, reinforced and foil laminated polythene vapour control membrane for use in insulated wall, roof and floor applications. Specially suited for warm flat roofs, where very high concentrations of moisture vapour need to be controlled. Novia STRP is particularly suitable for use in metal profile clad industrial buildings, the education sector and commercial buildings. It must be professionally installed in conjunction with Novia 2-tape sealing system to ensure a fully airtight seal. The membrane will not readily ignite, nor will it continue to burn in small fires due to flame resistant additives This adds an extra level of safety to building designs.

CHARACTERISTICS

• Very tough, tear-resistant and reinforced multilayer polythene laminate with an aluminium foil core,
• Reinforced multilayer polythene laminate,
• Translucent,
• Minimises interstitial condensation,
• Improves the insulation performance,
• CE approved to BS EN 13984,
• Meets the requirements of BS 5250: 2011
• Flame resistant to EN 13501-1 Class E,
  
• Suitable for use in commercial cladding systems.
  

APPLICATION

• For wall, roof and floor applications as an air leakage barrier and vapour control layer.

INSTALLATION

• VCLs should always be installed on the inside within all wall, roof or floor insulated frame applications, and would normally be used in conjunction with Novia external breather membranes which are situated on the cold side (on the outside).
  
• Fix the membrane to the structure using suitable galvanised or stainless permanent fixings,
• All VCL membrane joints should have a minimum 150mm overlap and be situated on a stud, rafter or timber,
• To improve overall airtightness, butyl tape is pre-applied to all the areas where a fixing is to be made.
• Ensure that the membrane is not damaged during installation, and that all service entry points are properly sealed.
