These days, homeowners and clients expect more in terms of quality in their homes. In particular, they pay special attention to their climate: It has to be comfortable, It should not damp or too dry and the energy costs must be kept within reason. In other words: Everything should be right, with no ifs or buts. Which is one more reason why the construction of new buildings should always be airtight. Build well, build airtight. Heat loss due to a lack of airtightness is extremely expensive and can potentially cause great damage. The installation of a high quality airtight layer protects you from future damages and maintenance/running costs. The investment in quality products is relatively small compared to the damages that can be caused by building physics failures.
