Novia Black+ Ultra 102GSM Roof and Wall Breather
Our lowest weight 102gsm breather membrane, with excellent water resistance which meets EN 1928 W1 Class.
Product Overview
Novia® Black+ Ultra Roof and Wall Breather Membrane is an entry level, lightweight, versatile breather membrane for all pitched cold and warm roofs, as well as insulated wall applications. The material meets EN 13859-1 for pitched roofing and EN 13859-2 for walls. Novia® Black+ Ultra has excellent water resistance but still provides high breathability. It also complies with EN 13501-1 fire classification grade E. The product is completely black on one side, grey on the reverse, with no text or images on, except for a 150mm overlap line.
Novia® Black+ Ultra meets the requirements for UKCA 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. This has been adapted to UKCA following the UK departure from the EU.
Novia® Black+ Ultra is suitable for use in BS 5534 wind uplift applications. Following successful tests, Novia® Black+ Ultra can be used in zones 1 without additional tapes (≤345mm battens), and in zones 1-5 using our Breather Membrane Lap Tape.
For a material with higher fire rating, please see our Novia FR Breather Membrane which is Class B-s1,d0 fire rated.
Novia Black+ Ultra 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.

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.
Our Double Sided Adhesive Tape is used between laps of the breather membrane, and one of our single sided overlap tapes, such as Breather Membrane Lap Tape (BMLT), is used to complete the seal, improve airtightness and keep down any excess membrane which may get caught in the wind.
