			<![CDATA[Our house has so much squirty foam sealing round windows and at the eaves I'm starting to wonder if it will all blow out/get sucked in  when we do the airtightness test. I'm very pleased we've reduced opportunities for thermal bridging but is there a sensible limit?]]>

			<![CDATA[Don't worry - airtightness testing customarily uses 50Pa of pressure difference - that might be hard to visualize, but google handily coverts this thus:<br /><br />50 pascals = 0.00725188689 pounds per square inch<br /><br />Work out the area of your foam and you'll see the pressure is minuscule.<br /><br />Paul in Montreal.]]>

			<![CDATA[I was told the 50Pa over/under pressure is only like leaving your front door open in a strong wind...<br /><br />Didn't even blow cobwebs out of some of my unplanned vents!<br /><br />Rgds<br /><br />Damon]]>
