The Liteline VBE-5 is a vapor barrier extender purpose-built for new construction installations using Liteline SlimLED and Luna IC-rated recessed fixtures. For electricians and contractors working on new builds where the vapor barrier is installed before drywall, this accessory ensures the air seal around each recessed fixture penetration is maintained — a requirement under Canadian building codes for insulated ceiling assemblies. Without a proper seal, warm interior air escapes into the attic cavity, creating heat loss, condensation risk, and the potential for moisture damage that leads to costly callbacks. The VBE-5 is designed specifically for the slim profile of SlimLED and Luna housings, providing a precise, purpose-fit seal that generic solutions can’t match. Suitable for ceilings and damp locations, it’s a low-cost, high-value addition to every new construction pot light install that protects the building envelope and the contractor’s workmanship long-term.
