Testing air-tightness of buildings (blower door test)

Do you always feel a draught but cannot find where it is coming from? The cause lies in the air-tightness of your building. Cibor can help you measure or improve it.

Draught problems: detect and solve

Does the cold send chills down your spine at home? Do you still suffer from cold fingers even though your heating is working overtime? Then you will probably have a draught problem, which is being caused by the air-tightness of your building.

Cibor can help you to measure or improve the air-tightness of your building. This will allow you to limit heat loss, manage air flows, lower your energy consumption and prevent mould problems caused by condensation.

Our approach

Tracing air leaks

We can immediately detect leaks by creating a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the building. We can quickly and precisely determine the location of leaks by performing a thermographic inspection and simulating the trajectory of air flow.

Pressure difference

  • Blower door test: pressure difference between inside and outside
  • Leaks become immediately detectable
  • Objective measurement of the air-tightness of your building

Thermographic inspection

  • Thermal imaging cameras visualise cold air flows
  • Simulating the trajectory of air flow to locate the leak
  • Quick and precise localisation of every air leak

Effective repair

  • Accurate report of all detected leaks
  • Basis to take the required measures and effectively repair the leak
  • Solutions to obtain maximum air-tightness

The benefits

Why measure the air-tightness of your building?

Good air-tightness of your building offers numerous benefits — from thermal comfort to energy savings.

Heat loss

Limit heat loss and eliminate cold air flows in your home.

Draught problems

Locate unpleasant draught problems and manage air flows.

Energy consumption

Lower your energy consumption through better air-tightness.

Acoustic leaks

Determine acoustic leaks — where air passes, sound passes too.

Mould problems

Prevent mould problems caused by condensation.

Windows and frames

Identify air-tightness problems in and around your windows.

Windows

Air-tightness of your windows

Energy-efficient construction means your windows must also be air-tight. Window openings and window frames must feature air-tight seals.

Too many air leaks in and around windows can cause serious energy losses in your home, even if you use well insulated glass. Cibor is also able to identify air-tightness problems in your windows.

Measuring the air-tightness of your building will allow you to:

  • limit heat loss and eliminate cold air flows
  • lower your energy consumption
  • locate unpleasant draught problems
  • determine acoustic leaks
  • manage air flows
  • prevent mould problems caused by condensation
  • obtain maximum air-tightness
  • identify air-tightness problems in your windows
