I sold all the (Velfac) windows and sliding/ patio doors to Dawn Construction on the first phase of the development. There was a tv documentary at the time, which was correct in saying all the warranties for the products used only had a 25 year span

Windows and doors can transform a building’s aesthetic. From a large expanse of multifunctional, modular glazing to uniform punctuations in the exterior façade, VELFAC modular façade solutions offer serious design versatility.

Thanks for sharing, these are the best photos showing dot and dab air movement I've ever seen.
Did you get an airtightness figure for your property?

velfac windows are installed very differently to normal windows as they dont sit in the wall rebate & many are installed with sealant as last defence. there is a detail called a Scottish packer which is fitted to the perimeter of the frame that allows better install detail

How terribly upsetting. I suggest getting (1) a complete set of the ‘as built’ drawings from contractor or architect (2) architect’s complete ‘construction’ drawings and specification. I’m very short of time but happy to give the docs a quick look over for you.

After interviewing many architects, technologists and engineers I’ve informally confirmed that few, if any (other than perhaps Passivhaus Designers), successfully develop workmanship clauses in specifications which align with the U-value calculations.

Design wise it may technically be exemplary… but cutting corners and shoddy workmanship easily undo this. If you watch new build snag videos online, Taylor wimpy are one of the worse, including some houses where they forgot cavity wall insulation.

A useful reference which pulls together decades of academic research, and calls into question the way many of the common construction technologies are used:

I think it’s because British builders are lazy, incompetent, devious, granny-selling shitbags. Just my opinion of course.
