Roof & Wall Applications: Novia Black+ Ultra 102GSM Roof and Wall Breather is good to use for roof and wall applications because it provides a balance of water resistance and breathability. In roof applications, it helps prevent water ingress while allowing moisture vapour from inside the structure to escape, reducing the risk of condensation and subsequent issues like mould or rot. For wall applications, it acts as a protective barrier behind cladding or other external finishes, blocking wind-driven rain but maintaining airflow to keep the structure dry. Its lightweight design makes it easy to install, and it works effectively in both residential and commercial projects.
