WINCON airtightness quality control unit
An exceptionally high performance quality control device (9,600m3/h at 50 Pa pressure differential). The pro clima WINCON airtightness quality control unit is a high powered fan designed to pinpoint air leakage on site. It empowers the installer to verify if the airtightness work carried out on site after application is to a high standard. Often referred to as 'the spirit level for airtightness', it is a high performance easy-to-use unit.
Features
- Works by generating a negative pressure and thereby enables air leaks to be identified and effectively sealed, prior to the application of the internal lining.
- Can be installed in an external window or door of the building.
- An innovative device which consists of a high powered fan, a fan controller and a magnehelic pressure gauge, all mounted on one singular wooden frame.
- Packaged in a convenient, robust wooden box, complete with smoke puffers for detecting leakage in the building envelope and temporary sealing tapes.
- Magnehelic gauge allows the operator to depressurise the building to up to 60 pascals.
- Quality control ensures attention to detail during installation.
- Does not replace the Blower Door Test but it complements the airtightness testing process.
Tip: carry out intermediate airtightness quality check using the Wincon prior to the application of the internal lining.
OPTIME downlight housing
Airtight flush-mounted housing for downlights
Airtightness best practice dictates that surface penetration of the external envelope should be minimised. Downlights present particular challenges for airtight design and continuity of the insulation layer. However, if downlights are present there is a robust solution in the OPTIME Downlight housing units.
Designed as an innovative one-stop solution for achieving a safe, easy-to-install sealing system for downlights. Optime Downlight housing boxes are offered as Mini and Maxi housing. The Optime Maxi will accommodate a transformer, the Mini is suitable only to house the downlight. Downlight protector Mini is designed to suit all types of roofs and ceilings as it is very suitable in narrow spaces. Optime Downlight boxes significantly reduce the carbon footprint of buildings which incorporate downlights as well as improving comfort and minimising problems associated with condensation.
While the Optime Downlight housing is made from non-flammable materials, Optime Downlight is not to be relied upon as a fire barrier - this is determined by the fixing between the downlight and the plasterboard lining.
Features
- 'Mini' option especially made for narrow spacings - 200mm x 200mm x 140mm.
- Simple to install
- Can be used for most conventional timber ceilings
- Supplied with a 'snap on' airtight cover for housing the light fixing tightly.
- Ensures an effective moisture barrier is maintained.
- Cover is simple to fit and requires no additional tools.
- For energy conservation we recommend low-energy light fittings, however, the housing is suitable for downlights up to 50W.
- Inflammable - will tolerate high temperatures in accordance with building regulations.
- Recognised by Nemko
- Made from recyclable material.
NB It is essential that light fittings are installed as per the Optime fitting manual. Please contact us for further information.
