    The other thread on air tightness tapes has reminded me that I need to source tapes for certain applications in my timber frame build.

    The TF kit suppliers are supplying the air tightness membrane and the tape for the joints in the membrane sheet, this appears to be also suitable for taping the membrane around the joists (or do I need a second double sided tape in this area or another solution?)

    I need a product for sealing the membrane to the slab (inc. primers?) and I need a tape for sealing around the windows.

    I'm guessing I will also need some specialist solutions for any pipes and ducts that penetrate the membrane?

    I shall be carrying out the work myself and hope that by taking my time and using the right products I can achieve a good result, the target is for below 0.6 air changes @ n50.

    So I would be grateful if people could recommend (by PM) specific products to use (or avoid).

    Please also post any helpful tips for carrying out the work.

    Thanks

    D-M.
