Installation

When installing VCLs in floor, roof or wall insulated frame applications, it is crucial to position them on the warm side, typically the interior. For optimal results, pair them with Novia's external breather membranes, situated on the cold side, or exterior.
To unlock the full potential of Novia's membranes, correct installation is key, which includes the use of their specialised tapes as part of a comprehensive system. Novia's VCL products require a two-tape sealing approach, ensuring optimum performance and desired building outcomes. Beware of condensation issues caused by poorly installed membranes or the use of incorrect tapes.
To achieve a flawless installation, it is essential to fully seal all Novia VCL products to the structure. Use Novia's double-sided butyl tape in conjunction with either their foil or BOPP lap tapes for a professional finish. Wider tapes provide stronger seals and make installation easier, allowing for some margin of error. Choose the tape width that best suits your specific application and budget. For standard VCL installation, Novia recommends the 30mm wide butyl tape and the 60mm Metallised BOPP tape.
