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,
