Window and door openings can create weak points in the building envelope, even when high-performance glazing and insulation are specified. We explore how thermal bridging, structural support, airtightness and weather protection influence the performance of these critical junctions.
A building can have high levels of insulation and high-performance windows, yet still experience additional heat loss at the junctions between building elements. These areas are known as thermal bridges.
Why window position matters for thermal performance, and how Triotherm+ supports secure pre-wall installation while helping reduce thermal bridging at window-to-wall junctions.
Airtight junctions are critical to building performance. Discover how ACT Acrylic Connection Tape provides a durable sealing solution across challenging substrates and connection details.
A 16th-century barn transformed into a near Passive House home, using bespoke BRIGi Foam thermal breaks to tackle complex junctions and minimise heat loss.
Approved Document L places greater emphasis on window installation performance. Lynvale supports installers and fabricators with airtightness detailing, thermal calculations and appropriate sealing solutions.
Discover how resilient tapes such as V494 can help reduce sound transmission and thermal bridging in timber frame and LGSF wall construction.
Better window and glazing performance depends on installation as well as specification. Lynvale works with industry partners to improve airtightness, durability and on-site detailing.
Following our recent NBS feature, we explore how Lynvale sealing, insulation and membrane solutions support fabric-first construction and better building performance.
