For optimal
Attachment
To optimize the effect of construction films, it is essential to seal them properly. When overlaps and connections to the wall, floor or skylight, for example, are not properly sealed, the risk of condensation arises. The air sealing tapes are performance tested on all of our films in combination with common substrates. Therefore, always use the recommended tape when processing our membranes.
This is how you create a closed
Building envelope
Airtight tapes are tapes that provide a sealed building envelope. Eliminating unwanted airflow is the first win when it comes to improving a building’s energy performance. When a building needs to become more sustainable with its energy, the obvious place to start is with facade insulation or roof insulation. A structure is then fitted with insulation material to reduce heat loss. However, there is a difference between the theoretical insulation value and the realized insulation value. Insulation material must always be properly incorporated into a structure. That is, the end result of the overall construction is determined by its processing.

Avoid
Unwanted air currents
Details such as gaps between insulation and structural members or the connection of a roof to a facade should be properly sealed. You do this on the warm side with a vapor control membrane or vapor-permeable membrane and on the cold side with a vapor-open (or vapor-permeable) membrane. With this, the large surfaces are sealed air and wind tight, making the first step on preventing unwanted air flows.
Avoid
Unwanted air currents
Details such as gaps between insulation and structural parts or the connection of a roof to a facade should be properly sealed. You do this on the warm side with a vapour control membrane or vapour barrier membrane and on the cold side with a breathable (or vapour-permeable) membrane. With this, the large surfaces are sealed air and wind tight, making the first step on preventing unwanted air flows.
easy and Effective
Air-tight
Airtight construction goes beyond simply applying an insulating membrane. All interruptions or connection will need to be properly shut off. Consider, for example, overlaps of the membrane, the connection of the membrane to a window frame, or a penetration of a ventilation duct. In order to realize an airtight building effectively and easily, Meuwissen Gerritsen’s product range includes a range of tapes that help to carefully seal the building envelope on both the hot and cold sides. Depending on the desired processing, our tapes have different properties. Consider, for example, adhesion to various substrates but also applicability in difficult to reach structural parts or processing temperature.
