Is it difficult and costly to install for airtightness?
Achieving an airtight seal isn’t difficult, but it does need to be designed and planned, and attention to detail given on site – it’s all about thinking two steps ahead in order to ensure overlaps and joints are effectively sealed. Take a look at our installation guide on pages 18-19 of the brochure for more information. Short cuts and poor workmanship result in air leakage which if detected at the Blower Door testing stage are difficult to rectify. An ‘out of sight, out of mind’ attitude leads to leaky building. Forethought and monitoring with intermediate assessments through the build process by the use of the pro clima Wincon quality control unit to detect air leakage, minimises and mitigates the need for any costly remediation work. We estimate that the material cost of installing the pro clima airtight system is as little as 0.5% of the total build cost on an average build. The primary cost is related to labour, hence forethought and good design can significantly reduce costs. And
