Thermal bridging
Thermal bridging happens in areas where heat escapes faster than through the rest of your home’s structure. These “cold spots” – like corners or around window frames – create paths for heat to sneak out. Left unchecked, they can make your surfaces chilly and uncomfortable.
When these cold areas drop below the dew point, moisture from indoor air can condense, raising humidity and inviting mould growth. This not only risks your health but can also harm your home’s structure. Plus, thermal bridges waste energy, push up heating costs, and even threaten the durability of your building.
By tackling thermal bridging with proper insulation and smarter construction techniques, you can keep the warmth in, boost energy efficiency, and ensure a healthier, cosier home.
