500 gauge/ 125 micron VirginPoly Vapour control layer.
For use as an air and vapour control layer (AVCL). Suitable for all SFS light steel frame, timber frame and concrete frame insulated wall constructions. Also used in insulated pitched roofs and floor applications. Novia manufacture different gauges of virgin grade VCL to ensure the correct products meets the requirements of the building. Take a look at www.novia.co.uk for more details and our other vapour control layer and air tightness membrane options available to you.
A traditional, single-ply, virgin grade blown polythene Vapour Check and air leakage barrier for use as an internal Air & Vapour Control Check (AVCL). The material meets BS EN 13984 and is CE marked. Novia 500 Gauge VirginPoly provides some moisture vapour resistance and is suitable for use in insulated wall, floor or roof applications where there is a relatively low risk of interstitial condensation occuring. It is a low cost solution which is supplied centre-folded in 2.7m roll widths and is ideal for use in timber frame constructions, including garden rooms/buildings.
Novia 500 Gauge VirginPoly is a transluscent green tinted polythene, with no text or images.
