01795 515 110 Website

Application

For use in insulated wall, roof and floor applications. While particularly suitable for metal profile clad industrial buildings, education sector and commercial properties, it can be used in any insulated SFS metal stud, or timber frame building construction.

Description

A strong, high specification, reinforced and laminated polythene vapour control & air tight membrane. STRP has a flame resistant additive which means that the membrane will not readily ignite or continue to burn in small fires. To provide an airtight seal, it must be installed in conjunction with Novia double sided butyl tape and metallised 'BOPP' overlap tape.


Features and benefits:

  • Complies with BS EN 13984.
  • CE approved and CPR compliant.
  • Easy to install. Novia STRP is translucent which aids fixing of plasterboard lining.
  • Suitable for use in commercial cladding systems.
  • Tough, tear-resistant reinforced multilayer polythene laminate.
  • Minimises interstitial condensation.
  • Improves the insulation performance.
  • Flame resistant to EN 13501-1 Class E.
  • Helps buildings meet the requirements of BS EN 5250.


Tape:

  • For professional installation, all Novia® VCL products should be fully sealed to the structure using a Novia® double-sided butyl tape and one of the foil or BOPP lap tapes.
  • Novia® recommends the 30 mm wide butyl tape and 60 mm metallised BOPP overlap tape for all standard VCL installations.
