Prevents the risk of hidden condensation in walls, ceilings and roof spaceEliminates unpleasant drafts during coldand windy weatherPrevents floors from getting cold nearfoundation walls and keeps floors warmerReduces the risk of excess moisturein the basementReduces the risk of mould at the baseof the walls Reduces infiltration of toxic gasesfrom the basement

Advantages

Wall/ceiling junction seal

Effective air/vapourbarrier for alloutdoor walls

Sealing of floors atthe junction with the foundation and walls

Watertight concrete foundation

Watertight membrane under the floor slab

Ensures the quality of the sealing workGuarantees that the house will be free ofunpleasant draftsConfirms the house will provide true energy savings

Air tightness verifiedby blower door test
