All domestic dwellings issued with a building warrant since October 1st 2011 are required to meet specific air tightness regulations and are subject to an air tightness test.
Air leakage is the uncontrolled flow of air through a building. Excessive air leakage leads to poor energy performance, draughts and high energy bills. So, air tightness is an extremely important element in sustainable building design. Air Tightness Testing enables the correct air permeability to be achieved without creating health problems, condensation or decreasing the integrity of the building fabric due to lack of natural ventilation.
If you require an air tightness test for your new build please get in touch to find out more information, understand your requirements and how SK Ventilation can help.
