Has anyone else had issues Not anyone I know, and not on any of my turnkey passive clients builds…… Prob best to leave him keep running, as he prob just doesn’t understand what is required to maintain the airtight envelope.

There are some battles you can fight. This is one where I let the fitters do their standard install (as you describe). Hopefully some airtightness tape to the membrane on the inside will rectify the situation a little. With the scaffolding still up I’m not even convinced the doors they fitted are weather tight. I did all the windows myself with Illbruck Trio tape and other elements of their system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
