VC Foil Ultra 1.5m x 50m
The VC Foil Ultra 1.5m x 50m from The Builders Supply is a high-performance vapour control layer designed to help regulate moisture and improve thermal efficiency within modern building structures. Featuring a durable foil construction, this membrane acts as an effective barrier against water vapour, reducing the risk of condensation within walls, ceilings, and insulated spaces. Ideal for professional construction and renovation projects, VC Foil Ultra provides reliable protection and contributes to a healthier, longer-lasting building environment.
Product Features / Specifications
High-performance vapour control membrane
Durable foil construction for effective moisture resistance
Large 1.5m x 50m roll for efficient coverage
Helps reduce the risk of internal condensation
Suitable for use with insulated wall and roof systems
Lightweight and easy to install
Designed for modern energy-efficient construction
Detailed Product Benefits
The VC Foil Ultra membrane is designed to improve building performance by controlling the movement of water vapour through walls and roof structures. When warm, moisture-laden air passes into colder areas of a building, condensation can occur, potentially leading to mould growth, insulation damage, and structural deterioration. This vapour control layer helps prevent that process by acting as a barrier between the internal environment and the insulated cavity.
The reflective foil surface can also contribute to improved thermal efficiency by helping to reflect radiant heat back into the living space. This supports overall energy performance while maintaining comfortable indoor conditions.
Supplied in a generous 1.5m x 50m roll, VC Foil Ultra provides large-area coverage, reducing the number of joins required during installation and making it a practical choice for both new builds and refurbishment projects.
Applications and Versatility
The VC Foil Ultra vapour control layer is suitable for a wide range of construction applications, including:
Internal wall insulation systems
Roof and loft insulation installations
Timber frame construction
Ceiling and partition systems
Residential and commercial building projects
Energy-efficient and modern building designs
Its versatility makes it an essential component in moisture management within insulated structures.

Additional Information
For best performance, the VC Foil Ultra vapour control layer should be installed on the warm side of the insulation within the building structure. All joints and penetrations should be properly sealed with appropriate tapes or sealants to maintain an effective vapour barrier. Proper installation in accordance with building regulations and insulation system requirements will ensure optimal moisture control and long-term building performance.
