"Builder grade" windows = a less comfortable home. Ew. 😝

The foundation of effective air tightness lies in establishing a continuous 🔲 air barrier throughout the building envelope. This isn`t just about applying products in isolation – it`s about creating an unbroken seal that connects every component of your building system.

Think of the pencil ✏️ rule or redlining; you should be able to draw a continuous line around your entire building envelope without lifting your pencil. This continuity is what transforms individual air sealing products into a comprehensive system. Whether you`re connecting foundation to wall, wall to roof, or navigating complex penetrations, maintaining this continuous barrier is critical.

The importance of continuity cannot be talked about too much. Even small gaps can have outsized impacts on building performance. A 1/4-inch gap around a typical building`s perimeter can be equivalent to leaving a window open year-round in terms of energy loss and air quality impacts.

Thermal bridges = weak spots in your home’s insulation where heat sneaks out and cold creeps in ❄️➡️🔥. Think of them as tiny highways for energy loss.

ThermalBuck helps shut those highways down. By extending the mounting point for windows and doors, it creates a flush plane for cladding and keeps your insulation continuous—no more gaps, no more shortcuts for heat to escape.

Want to see how it could work for your next build with @AlpenHPP window installation? Let’s talk high-performance strategies.
