This project was simple but large in scale. The house, covering a total of 136 sq.m. , was built in the 1990s. Its foundation and floors were constructed using concrete, which is fairly common for houses built during that period. As part of our initial assessment, we carefully inspected the entire structure to understand its current condition. One of the first things we checked was the ventilation system, as proper airflow is essential for maintaining a healthy indoor environment. Thankfully, the air was flowing into the house as expected, which allowed us to move forward with the necessary preparations.

We began by placing the bottom foil. This layer is critical as it helps create a barrier between the insulation and the concrete floor. We took precise measurements, cutting the foil into seven distinct compartments. Once cut, we laid each section down carefully and secured it by attaching it to the walls to ensure that the foil would remain in place and function effectively.

Next, we moved on to preparing the insulation. We carefully measured and cut the insulation material to fit all of the rooms. Once the pieces were in place, we went around the perimeter of each room, sealing any gaps or seams with tape. This is an important step because even the smallest opening can compromise the insulation's efficiency. We also made sure to carefully seal any places where we had snipped or cut the insulation, ensuring a tight and secure fit.

After taping all the seams, we applied Pur Foam along all the edges and corners. The foam helps to further enhance the airtightness of the insulation, preventing any drafts or leaks that could undermine the system’s effectiveness. We took our time to ensure that every corner and edge was fully sealed and that no air could escape. Once the foam had set and everything was in place, we stepped back and double-checked our work to ensure that every detail was attended to.

In total, we were able to complete the project in just two full workdays. Despite the relatively short timeline, the thoroughness and attention to detail we applied at each step ensured that the house was well-insulated and airtight, ready for any future climate challenges.
