From “16 to 1“ ‒ Retrofitting airtightness of roofs in existing buildings from the inside

Purpose of the work

Many top-floor apartments and single-family homes from the ’80s and ’90s had been insulated in the roof area using aluminum-clad panels or PE foils and had frequently been covered with profiled wood. These buildings suffer from a significant lack of airtightness that can be retrofitted from the inside with a high technical quality. The improvement in airtightness achieved by this approach in most cases shows better results than a retrofit from the outside.
