The Airtight home solution you never knew you needed.

---

Does your house never seem to get warm enough? Do you sometimes find mold or rot in odd places? and do you wish you could reduce your heating bills every year without ever feeling discomfort? Do you know if your home is airtight?

What is Airtightness?
Airtightness is the fundamental building property that affects the uncontrolled inward and outward leakage of outdoor air through cracks or other unseen openings of a building, caused by wind and external air pressure.
In other words, it’s a procedure that stops the air, moisture and everything the air can carry from making its way into and out of your home.

Why do you need Airtightness?
Air tightness has become a legal requirement to have in any new build. It is a vital element in your BER (Building Energy Rating) certification, and for good reason, since it has countless benefits such as:

• Reducing carbon footprint
• Lowering the energy bill
• Eliminating risk of mold and rot
• all while Increasing thermal comfort

When & How to get it done?
As soon as possible on your building project, especially if you’re still in the construction phase, as it is an essential addition to your home that you would benefit the most from at this stage.
Even if you choose to build your own home from scratch, airtightness should be done by professionals.
