Novia Class B-s1,d0 FR Breather Membrane

Product Overview

Novia® FR Roof and Wall Breather Membrane is a Class B-s1,d0* fire rated, high performance, lightweight and versatile breather membrane for all pitched cold and warm roofs, as well as insulated wall applications. Novia® FR Breather is CE marked and meets EN 13859-1 for pitched roofing and EN113859-2 for walls, including high rise applications. Novia® FR Breather has excellent Class W1 water resistance but still provides high breathability. The membrane is made from 2-layer TPU which provides significantly improved UV performance. Novia® FR Breather is completely black on one side, white on the reverse, with no text or images, except for a 150mm overlap line. 

*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® FR Breather 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 breather membrane 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® FR Breather 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.
