The requirements for airtight construction are becoming increasingly stringent. To meet the BENG requirements, the airtightness of buildings must be demonstrably up to standard. Airtightness performance is expressed in Qv10 values, where the lower the value, the better the airtightness. Whereas a Qv10 value of 0.6 or higher was common just a few years ago, many homes are now being built with a value of 0.4 or lower. This calls for smart solutions and attention to even the smallest details.
For more than 40 years, Celdex has been supporting contractors, prefab manufacturers, and facade builders in creating a sustainable and reliable building envelope. Not only with innovative waterproofing products, but also with expertise, engineering, guidance, and quality assurance throughout the entire construction process.

To demonstrably ensure the airtightness of buildings, Celdex developed the Celdex Dichtgarant sealing concept for mass-produced residential and non-residential construction. This comprehensive concept combines engineering, proven detailing solutions, high-quality sealing products, technical advice, construction supervision, and quality assurance. As early as the design phase, Celdex collaborates on optimal detailing, material selection, and construction methods. Among other resources, the Detail Manual for Airtight Construction has been developed as a practical guide, in which common connections and critical details are elaborated upon. By getting involved early in the design and construction process, construction details can be better tailored to actual construction practices, significantly reducing the risk of failure costs and air leaks.
In addition to mass-produced ground-level housing construction, there is also a growing need for well-designed waterproofing solutions for prefabricated high-rise buildings. The increasing density of inner-city areas is leading to a growing proportion of prefabricated concrete and steel-frame elements, which are often installed without scaffolding. Celdex developed the Seal4Prefab waterproofing system specifically for this construction method. This integrated solution combines airtightness, thermal insulation, and driving-rain protection in a single system. The waterproofing products are applied to the prefabricated elements at the factory, making on-site installation faster, safer, and less susceptible to weather conditions. Celdex supports the entire process, from engineering and product development to guiding prefab manufacturers, applicators, and construction partners. This not only increases the speed of construction but also ensures the quality and reliability of the building envelope.

At the PREFAB trade show, Celdex will demonstrate how airtight and driving-rain-tight construction is put into practice. Visitors will gain insight into how Dichtgarant and Seal4Prefab contribute to efficient construction, reliable sealing, and a demonstrably high level of airtightness in the building envelope. In addition, there will be plenty of opportunity to discuss project-specific issues and design details with Celdex specialists.
Visit Celdex at the PREFAB trade show at booth 1.F064 and discover how the right combination of expertise, engineering, and innovative sealing systems contributes to a more efficient and sustainable construction process.
