Insulating timber frame construction with insulation membranes
Timber frame construction is a popular choice for many builders due to its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. However, ensuring proper insulation is critical to achieving energy efficiency and protecting the structure from moisture-related damage....
Smart attic roof insulation: improve energy efficiency and comfort
Attic spaces often become a source of heat loss and moisture buildup if not properly insulated. Smart attic roof insulation offers an effective way to improve your home's energy efficiency, reduce heating costs, and maintain a comfortable indoor environment. In this...
Vapour barriers: protection against moisture and condensation
Moisture and condensation are common problems in construction that can lead to serious damage if not properly managed. Vapour barriers are a key solution for protecting buildings from these risks. In this article, we’ll explain what vapour barriers are, how they work,...
Tips for buying insulation membranes: what to consider
Choosing the right insulation membrane for your building project is critical to ensuring energy efficiency, protection from moisture, and long-term performance. With so many types of insulation membranes available, it can be difficult to know which one best suits your...
Airtight construction: the key to energy efficiency and comfort
Airtight construction is becoming an essential practice in modern building projects. By ensuring that buildings are sealed against unwanted airflow, airtight construction plays a crucial role in enhancing energy efficiency and indoor comfort. In this article, we’ll...
Types of insulation membranes: A smart solution for optimal insulation
Insulation membrane is an effective material used to improve the energy performance of buildings and protect the structure. Also known as technical construction membranes, these foils only work when the right type is applied in the correct place and installed...
Cold roof vs. warm roof insulation: what’s the difference?
When it comes to insulating your roof, you have two main options: cold roof insulation and warm roof insulation. Each method has its advantages and is suited to different types of buildings. In this article, we’ll explain the difference between these two insulation...
What is a vapour control layer and why is it important?
A vapor control layer, or in some cases a vapor tight layer, is an important part of home and building insulation. This layer, usually in the form of a foil, is applied to the inside of the structure, on the warm side.
How to install vapour control membranes: a step-by-step guide
Vapor control membrane prevents moisture from penetrating the structure and insulation of facades and roofs, preventing condensation. The proper application of vapor control membrane is critical to preventing moisture problems in spaces we live in every day.
Climate-neutral building: the future of sustainable construction
When you build a house, you want it to be energy efficient and sustainable. There are many ways to meet those goals – from air sealing to high-efficiency heating. One thing is certain: if you spend money now to construct or renovate a building, it must be climate neutral.
How rot and mould affect construction
Willem Koppen explains; a healthy indoor climate is a prerequisite of a building, but unfortunately does not always come naturally. Inadequate ventilation can cause dampness, which is a breeding ground for mold. Prevent this by correctly applying the right film.
Why technical construction membranes are essential
In the market, we find that it is often not yet clear to everyone why technical construction membranes are so important. In this blog, we explain to you exactly why building or insulation membranes are indispensable in any construction.
What is the lambda value in insulation membranes?
The lambda value (λ-value) is a key measurement in determining the thermal conductivity of an insulation membrane. Understanding this value is crucial for choosing the right membrane for your project, as it directly affects how well the material can prevent heat loss....
How to prevent condensation in construction
Condensation is a process that many people encounter, but for which few rarely understand exactly what it entails. You have probably seen the condensation on the outside wall when it rains or when you make tea in a room with a closed window….
How to properly use Tyvek® Flexwrap tape for sealing penetrations
Although our films provide protection against air leakage and moisture over the entire surface, it is essential to seal gaps, overlaps and connections airtight with specially developed tapes for this purpose.
How to prevent perforations when installing vapour barriers
The functionality and effectiveness of MG films hinges on proper processing. Properly closing overlaps and perforations is an important part of this.
How it’s done; Insulating roof boarding from the inside
By 2050, seven million homes and one million buildings must be off natural gas. As a first step, by 2030 the first 1.5 million existing homes must be made sustainable.
How it’s done; vapour barrier
Vapour control and vapor barrier membranes are used to eliminate airflow and protect the structure and insulation from unwanted condensation.
