Novia STRP Pro High Performance Reinforced Foil VCL 1.6m x 50m 80m2

Product Details

A premium spec reinforced and foil-laminated polythene Vapour Control Layer (VCL), The Novia STRP Pro is a high-performance membrane designed for use in insulated walls, floors and roofing, particularly where high concentrations of moisture vapour (such as warm flat rooves) require control. Ideal for metal profile-clad industrial buildings, education sector and commercial properties, it is extra-tough, tear-resistant and reinforced with an aluminium foil core. Install on the “warm” (interior) side of your structure and pair with external breather membranes for the “cold” side. Secure with Novia tapes for a secure finish. Supplied unfolded, in rolls Offers improved r-value when installed facing a minimum 25mm air gap Reinforced and tear-resistant 1.6m wide CE Approved and CPR Compliant Complies with BS EN 13984 Improves insulation performance Length: 50m Roll Width: 1.6m Coverage: 80m2 Moisture Vapour Permeabilityin Sd: 4000m Moisture Vapour Resistance: 4000 MNs/g Reaction to Fire NPD Class Reflectivity 57% What is a VCL? Vapour Control Layers (VCLs) are designed to manage the passage of moisture through a building's exterior walls, foundations and rooves and limit condensation within the interstitial layer “between” rooves, walls and floors. Particularly in high-humidity areas like the UK, water-laden air can condense on these structures causing damage over the long term, and reducing the thermal performance of insulation. It is advised to seal your Vapour Control Layer with double-sided butyl tape, followed by a BOPP tape to improve airtightness and increase the efficacy of the Vapour Control Layer. How do I Apply a Vapour Control Layer? A vapour control layer should be applied on the interior side of any wall, roof or flooring, over timber studs before the internal lining. It should be 100% sealed to the structure with double-sided butyl tapes, pre-applied to all areas where a fixing is to be made, and finished with metallised BOPP tapes to ensure a complete vapour seal. It is best used in conjunction with a Breather Membrane applied to the exterior side of the structure.
