Connection Couples for low-energy and passive buildings

The joint is the space between the window frame and the masonry lining.

For low-energy and passive houses, it is recommended to seal the connection joint as perfectly as possible, following the designed construction details and building physics calculations. In low-energy and passive houses, every detail of fitting and tightness is taken into account. The connection joint in these buildings should achieve similar parameters as the adjacent structures. The key to the success of a good solution and functionality is the perfectly designed details of the product fitting into the building.

Requirements for the function of the connection joint

• Preventing leakage into the joint

• zero joint air permeability

• effective joint ventilation - minimising condensation inside the joint

• enabling expansion

• thermal and acoustic insulation

Benefits of proper sealing

• Energy savings due to the prevention of thermal bridges and almost zero air permeability

• Maximum reliability and durability of the joint

• Reduction of the noise level penetrating the joint

• prevention of moisture penetration and mould growth in the joint
