What is a BUILDING ENVELOPE?
A building envelope makes up the climate or weather defence for your home.
Protection is needed at the roof, walls, and foundation.
Waterproofing, airflow and thermal barrier are all different but equally as important parts of what creates an effective all-round building envelope.
We can help you with different ways of achieving some common building envelope upgrades:
Thermal barrier: consists of things like insulation, wall or insulation thickness, or "R value of wall".
Airflow: consists of things like the vapour barrier, ventilation, or sealant.
Waterproofing: consists of things like membranes, wall paper, or exterior claddings.
Additional cladding advancements:
through-wall flashing
cap-flashing
head and sill flashings
relief and expansion joints
-> Prevents things like algae build up, cracking in surfaces, leaks from the top of your exposed wall down, or annoying drips.

Common Problems:
Temperature differentials between the inside and outside air can sometimes result in:
unwanted thermal bridging resulting in condensation.
cold spots from missing continuity of insulation.
air leakage resulting in drafts.
Rot Repairs:
condensation inside walls with no moisture escaping can lead to decay forming from the inside out.
exposed porous materials will weather or decay overtime and need continuous replacement.
improper structural repairs can lead to unexpected future costs, always work with qualified services.
