How to pre-tape a window for airtightness and windtightness before it is installed into a wall

Andy and Ilias from our technical team demonstrate how to pre-tape a window for airtightness and windtightness before it is installed into a wall. Using double-sided airtight and windtight tapes from Pro Clima, Andy explains the benefits of this time-saving method. Applying tape to the window or door frame before it is installed into a wall makes the airtight detailing much quicker and easier later on - especially around corners.

A lot of work initially but well worth it. I also have my triple-glazed windows on a rigid insulation piece to provide a thermal block (cold migrating from the stone or frame into the window frame). That thermal block material cost me nearly £1k, but I haven't had my heating on in years!

Minimising thermal bridges around windows and doors is often complicated by the need for structural support in these areas. Do check out our range of Bosig structural insulation made from recycled materials on our website.

@@EcologicalBuildingSystems Yes, this insulation block support was designed for windows and door frames and has suitable structural density.
