Air-Tightness<br />

Once your tiny home shear wall framing is complete; It’s Time For Air-Tightness.<br />

Whether you or your builder used wood or steel, when the 4x8 sheets are up and the<br />

interior space is closed in, it’s time to tape all the seams and connect the<br />

exterior wall panels to the tiny house frame. You’ll first test the tape on the OSB and<br />

determine if it needs a primer to adhere permanently. Our Tescon Vana tape should<br />

permanently bond to OSB, CDX, and other substrates in 24 hours, forever… To test<br />

the substrate just place a 6”-1’ piece of tape over the substrate used. In 24 hours<br />

peal it apart. For reference here is a sample. https://youtu.be/hugouyOgdBE<br />

Air tightness tape for seams, doors, penetrations, and windows are all included.


Water Resistive Barriers (WRB)<br />

Before siding over the shear wall you’ll use<br />

SOLITEX MENTO 1000, a 3-layer vapor open<br />

housewrap and roof underlayment that is an<br />

extremely strong WRB for<br />

subroof/underlayment and rainscreen<br />

application. It provides superior<br />

weather protection and can cover<br />

insulation, plywood, OSB and ext. gypsumboard.<br />

It has an actively vapor open,<br />

monolithic layer of TEEE film that is extremely<br />

waterproof – and outperforms<br />

perforated/stretched WRBs both in outward<br />

drying potential as well as airtightness.

Mento 1000<br />

Prepare Rough Opening by creating an Extoseal<br />

sill pan the thickness of the window frame,<br />

overlapped with Vana tape on other edges. Then<br />

tape Mento 1000 to the edges of the opening.


VOC * -free Insulation<br />

*Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)<br />

After all your wiring, plumbing,<br />

and mechanicals are installed;<br />

you’ll insulate the cavities<br />

perfectly and gap-less.


Intello Intelligent Interior<br />

By using Mento 1000 outside, taping all the seams and<br />

penetrations of the walls and roof you’ve created a control layer<br />

from the weather and wind. After insulation, you’ll create an<br />

interior Vaper Control Layer that will keep the walls closed up<br />

and sealed and prevent any interior showering, boiling of<br />

water, or breathing moisture from wicking into the<br />

walls over time. Line the interior framing with Intello Plus.<br />

Since Intello and Mento 1000 are intelligent, if the wall does<br />

obtain moisture rise, it can dry out in both directions.<br />

German Engineering at its best.

85% Efficient Ventilation,<br />

Replaces the Bathroom Fan.<br />

The <strong>Tiny</strong> <strong>House</strong> envelope is now air tight. We’ll want to add<br />

fresh filtered air just like the fish get in the fish tank. This is<br />

NEW, but a key ingredient to HEALTH & Efficiency. Cooking,<br />

bathing, breathing all create humidity. Breathing removes<br />

oxygen. Using our Energy Recovery Ventilation units will filter<br />

fresh air as it comes into the tiny house and also exhaust<br />

the humidity and smells from the bathroom and kitchen.<br />

Its automatic too working all the time for you. It also<br />

removes the VOCs that you can smell from the freshly<br />

varnished woods inside. Yea those smells are VOCs.


Energy Recovery<br />

Capture 80-90%<br />

of the heat<br />

escaping<br />

through the<br />

exhaust and<br />

put it back in<br />

your home!

Points of Departure<br />

• Ventilation exhausts VOCs and Smells, this is<br />

new and not standard in buildings. It replaces<br />

the bathroom fan and always provides fresh<br />

filtered air at the same time.<br />

• Creating Air Tight envelopes with Tescon Vana,<br />

Intello Plus, and Mento 100 keep the outside<br />

out and the inside free from dusts and drafts.
