Air Tight System

As we are all only to aware, energy costs of fossil fuels have spiralled upwards, timber frame offers reduced heating costs with many variations of insulation meeting and exceeding government regulations, heat recovery and air tight system packages are available to comply with all code levels. We at Leadon Timber Frame strive to make it our business in offering cost efficient energy packages.

A major cause of heat loss in any building is not due to the wrong specification in insulation, but air leakage, heat generated in a building is constantly being replaced by colder air. This is where air tightness eliminates this problem. We offer as part of our packages the fitting of an air tight barrier. This is fitted to the perimeter of the building forming an envelope, taped and sealed around all opening and joints ensuring that the building is as close to air tight as possible. When an air tight building is constructed, it is recommended that a mechanical heat recovery system be installed.

Basically a heat recovery unit is fitted during construction, this extracts heat from within the buildings warm areas and mixing it with fresh air outside circulating throughout the building. An airtight structure ensures that your insulation can actually work to 100% of its ability.
