Novia Class B-s1,d0 UV Facade FR Breather Membrane
Our Class B-s1,d0* breather membrane for high rise constructions and open rainscreen applications
Product Overview
Novia® UV Facade FR Roof and Wall Breather Membrane is a Class B-s1,d0* fire rated, UV resistant, high performance, lightweight and versatile breather membrane for all pitched cold and warm roofs, as well as insulated wall applications. Novia® UV Facade FR is CE marked and meets EN 13859-1 for pitched roofing and EN 113859-2 for walls, including high rise applications. Novia® UV Facade FR meets EN 1928 Class W1 water resistance, and provides high breathability. The membrane has passed rigorous 5000 hours UV testing and is suitable in open rainscreen facade applications with open joint widths up to 30mm, where ≤40% of the total area of the membrane is exposed. Novia® UV Facade FR is completely black on both sides, with no text or images.
*Valid when fitted to substrates with fire class A2-s1,d0 or A1, with no cavity between product and substrate. Product tested to EN 13501-1.
Novia® UV Facade FR meets the requirements for CE marking, originally introduced under the 2013 Construction Products Regulations with CE marking. Under this European directive, all products covered by a current hEN (harmonised European Norm) must comply with the new standard. Third party accreditation is no longer sufficient.
For projects that also require a fire rated vapour control layer which complies to EN 13501-1, we also offer Novia® VC4000 FR Reflective. It has a B-s1,d0 Fire Classification and is approved for use in high rise applications. See datasheet for more product specific information.
Novia® UV Facade FR can be found on NBS Chorus and NBS Source software packages. Full information can be found for NBS specification with the table below. The links will open a pop up window with full specification information.
Full installation and technical details can be found on the datasheets available for download below.

Installation Tips
Installation guidelines can be found on individual product datasheets using the links on this page. To install Novia breather membranes, we recommend using two tape sealing system to improve airtightness.
For Novia® UV Facade FR, Novia® Double Sided Lap Tape (DSLT) can be used between laps of the breather membrane. This can be used in conjunction with Novia® Ultraviolet Lap Tape (UVLT), a single sided overlap tape which is used to complete the seal, improve airtightness and keep down any excess membrane which may get caught in the wind. Novia® Breather Membrane Lap Tape (BMLT) can also be used as an alternative to Novia® UVLT.
