The Airtight home solution you never knew you needed.
Does your house never seem to get warm enough? Do you sometimes find mold or rot in odd places? and do you wish you could reduce your heating bills every year without ever feeling discomfort? Do you know if your home is airtight?
What is Airtightness?
Airtightness is the fundamental building property that affects the uncontrolled inward and outward leakage of outdoor air through cracks or other unseen openings of a building, caused by wind and external air pressure.
In other words, it’s a procedure that stops the air, moisture and everything the air can carry from making its way into and out of your home.
Why do you need Airtightness?
Air tightness has become a legal requirement to have in any new build. It is a vital element in your BER (Building Energy Rating) certification, and for good reason, since it has countless benefits such as:
- Reducing carbon footprint
- Lowering the energy bill
- Eliminating risk of mold and rot
- all while Increasing thermal comfort

When & How to get it done?
As soon as possible on your building project, especially if you’re still in the construction phase, as it is an essential addition to your home that you would benefit the most from at this stage.

As to How? Our company covers the entire Irish territory, so all you need to do is get in touch by phone or email for an assessment, and based on your case we would visit your home or office and consult on what needs to be done and how much it might cost.
About GHS
GHS Construction started up in 2016. We specialize in air tightness, metal ceilings and plaster boarding. It came to our attention that there was an opening for specialized workers in airtightness. We began our journey with residential houses and alongside building contractors. Our first big contract came with Sisk Building Contractors in center parks, Longford, where we completed air tightness in 460 houses. Ever since then we have been doing a lot of work for Sisk and have built up a good profile of building contractors who we repeatedly do work for. We now have a good team of well-trained workers who travel all around Ireland completing work in private houses and for building contractors.

What our customers say about our work
-
Safe and Tidy
I hired GHS Construction on a new-build house to install the air tightness. They were considerate while working among others and kept their workplace tidy and accessible to others on the site. They adhered to all safety measures in place and worked quick but careful to execute their work to the highest standard.

Detail oriented with great results
I am a builder who previously done the air tightness myself on jobs but when we got too busy to keep this on, we contacted GHS Construction to fill this for us. They now carry out all air tightness jobs for us because I was so shocked by the great job they’d done and the amount of detail they went into to get it done perfect every time. Our results have improved immensely.

Professional and Reliable
We used GHS Construction when we were renovating schools. I’ve worked on the same sites as GHS Construction for over 3 years between Centre Parcs & renovating schools. I’ve found them extremely professional and easy to deal with. I would recommend them anytime.
