Novia BS 4016 - Type 2 Breather Paper is a traditional wall breather membrane, which was originally manufactured to meet the requirements of BS 4016 Type-2.
This is a UKCA marked product for use as a Breather Membrane to BS 13859-2 (Part 2 Underlays for Walls)
This product is a blue coloured paper breather membrane with water-repellent chemicals incorporated during the manufacturing stage. It is suitable for use in steel and timber frame cavity walls with masonry, weatherboarding, tile or slate cladding exteriors.
This membrane meets the original requirements of the type 2 part of the BS 4016 standard, and should therefore be fixed on site, immediately prior to cladding.

Installation Tips
Installation guidelines can be found on the product datasheets using the links on this page.
