Why does airtightness matter?

When it comes to creating sustainable, comfortable, and healthy homes, airtightness is key.

Airtight membranes ensure your home is well-sealed, preventing unwanted air leakage. This is crucial for maintaining a consistent indoor temperature and minimising energy loss, but it’s also vital for health.

Why is this important for indoor health?
When your home is airtight and mechanically-ventilated (another Passivhaus principle), it prevents drafts, condensation, and mould growth. 

The featured Pro Clima Intello Plus membrane from Pro Clima has smart vapour control and adjusts to varying humidity levels, keeping moisture out and ensuring your living spaces stay dry and healthy year-round.

An internal airtight layer prevents unwanted dust or bugs from entering your home through the walls. And from personal experience, it also helps acoustically, minimising exterior sounds – a real game-changer!
