Description

Top

If pipes or cables penetrate the air tightness layer, they must be securely sealed. The most suitable means of doing this is with air tightness grommets made from EPDM. This flexible material allows a tight fit, and Kaflex allows for a secure feed-through for cables and pipes. Kaflex cable grommets feature an integrated adhesive with a release paper for ease of application.

• For an airtight seal around pipes and cables which pass through the INTELLO PLUS or DB+ membrane. They are made of non-ageing elastic EPDM rubber in a high adhesive square

• With Release paper

• Offers high protection against piercing due to its high elasticity

Current UK and IRISH Building Regulations and Method of Measurement

The most commonly used unit of measurement for airtightness in Ireland and the UK is referred to as the air permeability of a building or Q50.

To measure air permeability a pressure differential is induced onto a building using a large fan called a Blower Door. An air tightness measurement usually involves a combination of depressurising and pressuring a building to a pressure difference of 50 Pascal’s (50Pa) which is equivalent to a wind speed of about 20 miles per hour on every side of the building envelope at once, by no means an extreme pressure. Once the pressure differential reaches 50Pa, air leakage may easily be located in the external envelope and an accurate measurement of the air permeability of the external envelope of the building is taken.

The air permeability of a building at a pressure differential of 50Pa is referred to as the Q50 of a building and is measured in m3/hr (of airflow) per m² (of total external envelope area).
