Weathertight Sealing plays an important role in delivering energy-efficient and sustainable homes.
Without having an airtight, well-insulated building envelope, achieving energy performance ratings will be near on impossible.
This highlights the importance for builders and designers to invest in the correct materials, products and procedures to deliver a sealed building envelope to the consumer to ensure there is minimal air leakage – As this is typically the largest driver in energy use in homes, comprising of 30%-70% of energy wasted on heating and cooling, as well causing air drafts and moisture problems.
Whilst tape is a minor component in the build of a house, it plays a very important role in ensuring the building envelope is sealed and secure. Therefore, it’s vital that builders invest in quality tapes compatible with vapour permeable wraps to seal and flash around windows correctly.
This product range has been specially developed to work in these applications to ensure energy efficiency is delivered.
