Novia Membranes & VCLs

Novia's breather membranes are engineered to allow insulated structures to release excess moisture. These membranes are essential for maintaining the integrity and longevity of wall and roof structures, including:

Novia Black+ Pro 150GSM

 This high-spec membrane is suitable for both roof and wall applications, providing robust protection against environmental elements.

Novia Reflex Reflective Breather

Enhances thermal performance by reflecting heat, ideal for energy-efficient construction.

Novia FR Class B-s1,d0

A fire-rated membrane compliant with UK building regulations, suitable for high-rise and standard constructions.

These membranes not only enhance the breathability of buildings but also protect against wind-driven rain and dust, ensuring optimal performance and durability​.

Novia’s vapour control layers are critical for managing moisture within buildings, preventing condensation, and protecting insulation. These layers are placed on the warm side of the insulated wall, roof or floor to manage internal moisture.

Novia VC2 AVCL

Provides excellent moisture management and is suitable for various construction types.

Novia VC4000 FR Reflective AVCL

Designed for use in constructions over 18 meters in height, offering enhanced fire resistance and reflective insulation properties.

For sites requiring protection against ground gases and moisture, Novia manufactures specialised membranes such as:

Novia 1600G Radon Gas Barrier

Protects against radon gas, damp, and carbon dioxide.

Novia Methane Pro DPM

Provides comprehensive protection against methane, damp, radon, and carbon dioxide, meeting BS 8485 standards.

Use our range of Novia tapes and sealants to ensure the proper installation and sealing of breather and gas membranes, vapour control layers and building papers, such as:

Novia Double Sided Butyl Tape

Used for sealing laps and edges of membranes.

Novia Aluminium Foil Tape

Provides a strong seal and additional protection against environmental factors.

Novia has established itself as Britain's leading manufacturer of building envelope solutions, combining innovative engineering with practical installation benefits. Their comprehensive product range addresses every moisture management requirement, from basic vapour control to advanced reflective systems.

Breather Membranes That Perform: The Novia Black+ Ultra and Novia Reflex systems offer exceptional water vapour permeability whilst maintaining complete weather protection. These high-performance membranes achieve the critical balance between allowing internal moisture to escape while preventing external water ingress—essential for maintaining healthy, durable building structures.

Vapour Control Layers for Every Application: From the cost-effective 500-gauge polythene VCL for standard applications to the premium VC200 reflective system for high-performance builds, Novia provides solutions that exceed building regulation requirements. Their virgin-grade polythene formulations ensure long-term durability and consistent performance throughout the building's lifecycle.

Complete System Solutions

What sets Novia apart is their systems approach to building envelope design. Every membrane integrates seamlessly with their comprehensive range of tapes, sealants, and accessories. The Novia AirSeal FR sealant cartridges and aluminium foil lap tapes ensure perfect continuity at joints and penetrations—the critical details that determine long-term performance.

Professional Installation Support: Novia's double-sided butyl tapes and specialist breather membrane lap tapes simplify installation whilst guaranteeing weathertight seals. These accessories eliminate the guesswork from complex details, ensuring your installation meets manufacturer specifications every time.
