Why Airtightness Matters 🏠

Airtightness controls unwanted air leakage, keeping heat in while ensuring fresh air is delivered properly.

It’s improved through sealing gaps, airtight membranes, upgraded windows & doors, and mechanical ventilation

Did you know?

Most Irish homes were built before today’s insulation standards. That means heat loss through the building fabric is often the main reason for high energy bills - not the boiler. Fix the fabric, and everything else performs better.

Being smart with your heating can make a real difference to your energy use.

Simple steps like using timers, lowering the thermostat slightly and ensuring good insulation can help keep your home warm without overspending.

Small changes = smarter heating.
