What is the relationship between airtightness and condensation risk?

Airtightness in buildings is crucial for controlling condensation and maintaining both structural integrity and occupant health. By preventing air leakage with well-designed air barriers and vapour control layers, the risk of warm, moist air reaching colder surfaces and condensing is significantly reduced, thereby avoiding issues like mould growth and structural

Airtightness testing for builders to cut energy use

We help builders across the UK with airtightness testing because getting it right first time saves stress, time and money. When air leaks out of a new build, it drives up heating bills, creates draughts and can lead to failed tests that delay handover. That’s why we plan early, walk
