Air Tightness
Air tightness, as you might expect, is the process of making your home air tight. Insulation as most people are used to it is a way of preventing heat loss from the inside. The insulation itself is not protected from drafts, wind and moisture. Air tightness is used in conjunction with insulation works to improve insular efficiency as well as improving heat retention in its own right.

At Energy Solve, we use SIGA high-performance products which protect the thermal insulation in your home and with it your whole house from outside and in; durably, reliably and without toxins.
Advantages of the airtight system
- Keeps warm air inside therefore saves on heating costs.
- Stops draughts, which increases the comfort level in the home.
- Increases property value.
- Minimizes CO2 emissions which reduce the greenhouse effect.
- Achieve a better Building Energy Rating (BER).
- SIGA air tightness membrane prevents condensation. Warm indoor air doesn’t come into contact with the cold outdoor air which means the thermal insulation doesn’t get damp so no harmful mould spores can form and pollute the indoor air. This protects your health, and prevents expensive building damage.
