Airtightness Systems

Airtightness is the key feature of any energy efficient building. It reduces wasted heat and allows the buildings atmosphere to be controlled with mechanical ventilation heat recovery units creating a healthier environment.

• Passiv house airtightness levels are 10 times the current building regulations.
• Even with Code for Sustainable homes levels of 3 upwards, airtightness improves the efficiency of the building.
• Heated air escaping and uncontrolled ventilation accounts for up to 50% of heat loss in buildings.
  
  Q:"Can I use polythene and tapes?"...A:"Traditional membranes are not breathable"
  
• Moisture is trapped during construction or due to condensation being trapped in the structure.
• Such moisture not only greatly reduces any insulations thermal properties but if left it can produce mould and structural damage. 

Pro clima airtight membranes/tapes

• Global market leaders in this field
• Have been developing and manufacturing complete airtightness and moisture management systems for over 20 years.  
• The Intello Plus and DB plus membranes provides a vapour check to stop moisture entering the structure from the internal environment
  
• And can become vapour open releasing the trapped moisture in the structure.
• The Pro Clima range has tapes, gaskets and glues which make the entire installation including details straight forward.
• All the glues are non acrylic and non ageing to ensure an efficent system for years ahead.
• Wether your project is masonary or timber frame high levels of airtightness can be achieved.
