Common Air Leakage Paths Identified During Air Tightness Testing for PAS 2035<\/strong><\/p>\n

In our experience, the more complete a development, the more likely it is to achieve a low air leakage figure. When we send out our quotations, we also forward an informative air leakage checklist to help clients prepare for their air tightness test for PAS2035<\/a>. By working with customers throughout the retrofit stages, we can provide advice and guidance on the most feasible ways to avoid air leakage and attain compliance for the air tightness test for PAS2035.<\/p>\n

Here is a list of the most common air leakage paths identified during our air tightness and smoke leakage testing:<\/p>\n
