Passive House Systems specialise in the supply of airtightness products. Airtightness is the control of air leakage in a building through the elimination of unwanted drafts. To achieve airtightness standards, a building envelope is created with the installation of an airtight vapour control system. This envelope separates the indoors from the outdoors, and includes exterior walls, foundations, roof, windows and doors.
We supply a wide range of airtightness systems to suit specific building needs, including: new builds and retrofit; timber frame, masonry and cement construction; supported and unsupported tile, slate and metal roof finishes; and flat and sloped roofs.
Achieving reasonable standards in airtightness eliminates condensation, mould, rot, damp and the potential for structural damage. Good airtightness improves insulation and increases the thermal efficiency and energy efficiency of a building by reducing the leakage of warm and cold air.
