Air and Moisture Tightness

Air Tightening Insulation Solutions

When a building has good air tightness, it stops the outside cold from penetrating the building fabric, or depending on the direction of the pressure gradient, keeps the warm air in. Local building regulations each have their own requirements for the air tightness of buildings. In recent years, regulations in all countries have become stricter. In many cases, air tightness criteria is based on the passive house standard (<0.6 exchange / hour). To test the air tightness of buildings, the pressure test method is often used.

Floors

Different floors demand different insulation solutions. Intermediate floors have to be well insulated against noise between the floors. Ventilated floors act like a facade below the building, while ground slabs have high demands for moisture movement. A well-insulated floor structure creates a good sound environment and keeps you feet warm on cold winter days.

Roofs

Regardless of the type or slope of the roof, it is the most important part of the building envelope contributing to heat loss and energy efficiency. When you reduce heat loss through your roof, you need less energy to heat your entire house.
