The colder months are here – and if your property isn\u2019t effectively airtight, you\u2019ll be feeling left out in the cold.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Cold building? One factor that could be causing it is a lack of airtightness.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Without airtightness, your building will suffer from leakage. This is a result of holes being left unfilled, and nearly 50% of all heat losses via an exterior envelope can be attributed to a lack of airtightness.<\/span><\/p>\n

The problem<\/span><\/h2>\n

Airtightness has one core aim – to completely seal off unintended gaps or cracks on the exterior of a building. As a result, occupants can expect an internal atmosphere that is healthy, comfortable and energy-efficient.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, when using poor quality materials, or not complying with the Government\u2019s Document L, buildings are often not airtight. This leads to increased heating costs, greater pollution through lost energy and a non-compliant building.<\/span><\/p>\n

The solution<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fixing a lack of airtightness can be a complex process, depending on whether your building is new or old.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>To measure airtightness, air will be blown into the building, and the air which leaves the building will then be measured. If you haven\u2019t sealed it correctly, more air will come out, and the building will not be airtight, and therefore not compliant. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>HS Butyl seals joints<\/a> between metal-clad buildings<\/a> to provide more airtightness. But you need to ensure you\u2019re using high-quality, trusted and tested butyl that stands the test of time.<\/span><\/p>\n
