Shouldn’t Building Skin Breathe?
Humans have controlled breathing and buildings should too. This allows efficient exchange of air, heat, & moisture recovery and control over pollutants.
We use dedicated air exchange systems to maintain fresh air, which is essential for a healthy environment and helps your brain perform better all day long.
The slide at right from Building Science Corp and 475.supply shows why uncontrolled air movement in a wall assembly is not a good thing and why we use a air exchange system to regulate the air and moisture movement.
Have You Seen This in Brand New Homes
Triple Pane Windows and Doors Provide Extra Protection
Triple pane insulated frame doors and windows, coupled with a better wall assembly and an air exchange system can eliminate this.
Better quality doors and windows also provide a more consistent temperature througout the building.
Too Many Re-Side Projects Expose This
Water Damage that Remains Hidden
This is a result of moisture getting behind the siding and it can’t dry out. We provide a rainscreen behind the siding so the assembly can dry out.
Whenever possible, we vent the roof to help keep the roof cooler. All venting is protected by fire resistant vent material.
Colorado Wildfires
The Threat is Real
90% of homes in wildfire prone areas are destroyed by wind blown embers.
We use fire resistant building methods to increase the survivability of our builds.
