Air-Tightness

Back

To compliment other systems, Eco Build offer a range of air-tightness systems.

Air tightness is essential in maximising the effectiveness of thermal insulation, ensuring vast savings over a lifetime.

Air tightness is the control of airflow in a building. Condensation, mould growth and long term structural damage occur when a building is not airtight. The benefits of an airtight building are, lower heating costs, fewer CO2 emissions and increased sound insulation.

A perfect airtight seal can be achieved using breather membranes, vapour barriers tapes and accessories from the SIGA Airtight System available from Eco Build.

Note: Air tightness requirements are now a compulsory part of the Building Regulations where a “Blower Door” test is required for new buildings.
