What is Sustainable Building About?

Stephan Wall asked:


Supporting Your Vision

What happens when you imagine what it’s like to be fully supported through every stage of the project you’re working on – each key stage from initial design to reality? If you’re already one of our preferred customers, you don’t have to imagine it!

If you haven’t yet become a customer of any company like this and realise the value in being supported and backed up by experts in the field, when now would be a good time to give us a call and get more information as to how we can provide you with the kind of service you want and deserve?

Spiders & Routels

To make your sourcing job easier, you might be happy to hear that we provide high quality spiders and routels for architectural point-fixed glass engineering.

Keeping Updated

They say that ‘no news is good news’, and we know that keeping up with the latest industry developments is critical to your ongoing growth and success. With that in mind, you might want to be kept in the loop about such matters as Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) – this EU Directive contains a range of provisions aimed at improving energy performance in residential and non- residential buildings, both new build and existing.

The Expertise is Your Guarantee of Quality

First we seek to understand your outcome thoroughly, and only after that has been accomplished do we provide you with the best possible and durable solutions because your satisfaction is our main goal. And since the timely completion of your projects and/or sites is critical, you’ll be able to relax when you begin to experience our skilled manpower.

Less stress means more effortless productivity.

We understand that it makes no sense to partner with us until you are convinced that our 28 years of professional acumen and expertise for handling the work you’ll give us is exactly what you’re looking for.

Is Your House AirTight?

Learn about a wide range of air-tightness services and products – to ensure the right design and specification as well as construction quality – to the Irish construction industry.

Airtight, air-tightness, or airtightness – whichever way you say it, is basically the elimination of draughts and is a crucial component in combating wasted energy, a

critical factor in any low energy build and all too often overlooked in comparison to insulation and energy sources.

Imagine wearing a thick wool jumper on a cold windy day – it might sound like a good idea until you step out into the cold and feel the wind blow right through. But if over the wool jumper you put on a jacket and zip it up, then you’ll begin to warm up as the wool insulation can now do its job properly,

It’s the same with buildings – even though you have insulation in your house, without a zipped up jacket, the warmth will be blown away by penetrating wind. It stands to reason that if you can keep the warm air in and the cold air out you will decrease draughts, enjoy a cosier environment and smile at smaller heating bills.

The expensive heat that you have built up in your home or office can leak out through door and window seals, up the chimney, through the attic and poorly installed or compromised vents.

Whether you call it air infiltration or air permeability, NSS can help you with the right testing, and then find for you the specified products – be they seals for doors, spray foams, or whatever you might need to make that building warm and energy efficient.

Experience shows that the key to successfully making your structure air tight is to firstly get the design and specifications right, followed by the installation of the best quality products.
