Novia VC2T Temporary Protection – 1.5m x 50m

Novia VC2T is a lightweight, strong and fully waterproof flame-resistant reinforced synthetic laminate designed for temporary protection during construction and refurbishment work. Suitable for protecting heavily trafficked areas, new surfaces and finished areas, VC2T provides a practical alternative to traditional paper-based temporary protection materials.

Its scrim-reinforced construction combines strength with a lightweight format that is easier to handle and install on site. The membrane is also fully waterproof and achieves Class E flame resistance to EN 13501.

Supplied as a 1.5m x 50m roll, each roll provides 75m² nominal coverage, making it suitable for protecting substantial areas during construction, fit-out and refurbishment projects.

What Is Novia VC2T Used For?

Novia VC2T is designed for general temporary protection applications during construction and refurbishment.

Typical applications include protecting areas during:

• Construction work
• Refurbishment
• Renovation
• Internal fit-outs
• Decorating
• Maintenance work
• Finishing trades
• General building work
• Site traffic
• Installation work

It is particularly useful where finished or newly installed surfaces need to remain protected while other construction activities continue.

Waterproof Temporary Protection

Novia VC2T is specified as fully waterproof.

This provides an important advantage where temporary protection may be exposed to water or other moisture during construction.

Its waterproof synthetic construction also differentiates VC2T from basic cardboard and traditional paper-based temporary protection materials.

The membrane should still be correctly installed and detailed according to the conditions and protection requirements of the individual project.

Flame-Resistant Temporary Protection

Novia VC2T is specified as:

Flame-resistant to EN 13501 Class E

This provides a defined reaction-to-fire classification for the temporary protection material.

The suitability of any temporary protection material should still be assessed according to the fire safety requirements and procedures applicable to the individual construction site.

Lightweight but Strong

Novia VC2T combines a lightweight construction with a strong scrim-reinforced structure.

This makes the material easier to transport, handle and position while still providing a robust temporary protection layer.

Its lightweight format is particularly useful where large areas need to be covered during construction.

Scrim-Reinforced Synthetic Laminate

VC2T uses a reinforced synthetic laminate construction incorporating scrim reinforcement.

The reinforcement helps provide additional strength to the material while retaining the practical handling characteristics of a lightweight temporary protection sheet.

This makes it suitable for protecting working areas where a basic paper or cardboard protection product may not provide the required characteristics.

Protection for Heavily Trafficked Areas

Construction projects often require trades to continue working through areas where surfaces and finishes have already been completed.

Novia VC2T can be used to provide temporary protection across heavily trafficked areas, helping protect completed surfaces while work continues.

Typical areas can include:

• Access routes
• Corridors
• Finished rooms
• Working areas
• Internal circulation routes
• Newly completed sections of a building

The required level of protection should always be considered according to the surface and type of site activity.

Protecting New Surfaces and Finishes

Damage to completed surfaces during the later stages of construction can result in additional labour, replacement materials and project delays.

Novia VC2T provides a temporary protective layer that can be used over appropriate new surfaces and finishes while surrounding work continues.

This can help reduce the risk of avoidable damage during construction, refurbishment and fit-out work.

Alternative to Paper Temporary Protection

Novia VC2T provides a modern synthetic alternative to traditional paper-based temporary protection products.

According to Novia, VC2T is:

• Cheaper
• Lighter
• More practical to use

than old-style paper versions.

Its synthetic laminate construction also provides full waterproofing, giving it a significant practical advantage where moisture resistance is required.

Novia VC2T vs Cardboard Floor Protection

The appropriate temporary protection product depends on the requirements of the project.

Novia VC2T provides:

• Scrim-reinforced synthetic construction
• Fully waterproof performance
• EN 13501 Class E flame resistance
• Lightweight but strong construction
• 75m² nominal coverage per roll

A basic cardboard product such as Novia Floorguard provides:

• Recycled cardboard construction
• Low-cost general temporary protection
• Slip-resistant performance
• Recyclability
• Easy cutting and shaping

Where waterproof and flame-resistant temporary protection is required, VC2T provides the higher-specification option.

1.5m Wide Temporary Protection Roll

Each roll is:

1.5m wide

The wider format allows substantial areas to be covered efficiently while remaining practical to handle during installation.

Multiple runs can be used where larger areas require protection.

50m Roll Length

Each roll measures:

50m long

Combined with the 1.5m width, this provides a total nominal area of:

1.5m x 50m = 75m²

Actual usable coverage may be lower where overlaps, cutting and installation wastage are required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Novia VC2T?

Novia VC2T is a flame-resistant, waterproof and scrim-reinforced synthetic laminate designed for temporary protection during construction and refurbishment.

What size is a roll of Novia VC2T?

Each roll measures:

1.5m wide x 50m long

How much area does one roll cover?

One complete roll provides:

75m² nominal coverage

Actual usable coverage may be lower after allowing for overlaps, cutting and installation wastage.

Is Novia VC2T waterproof?

Yes. Novia VC2T is specified as fully waterproof.

Is Novia VC2T flame resistant?

Yes. The material is specified as flame-resistant to EN 13501 Class E.

Is Novia VC2T reinforced?
