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.

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.
