Intelligent Membranes joins Home by Milestone

Intelligent Membranes is now a member of Home by Milestone, the sustainable homebuilding showroom at Masson Mills in Matlock Bath. We’re pleased to join a community that helps self-builders, homeowners and construction professionals explore the materials and systems behind better-performing homes.

For anyone planning a new home or improving an existing property, the decisions hidden behind the finishes deserve attention early on. Our part in that conversation is airtightness: choosing the right membrane and working out how it will connect across the building.

A practical connection for better homes

Home by Milestone brings together businesses involved in sustainable construction, Passivhaus and smart home technology. That makes it a relevant community for Intelligent Membranes and the people who use our products, from architects setting out a specification to builders completing the details on site.

Our range includes liquid-applied membranes for internal airtightness and vapour control, alongside external airtightness and weather protection. Spray, roller and brush options allow the product choice to reflect the area being treated and the detail that needs sealing.

Start with the connections

A useful early question is where the airtight layer will run and how it will continue around windows, doors, floor junctions and services. Planning those connections gives the design team and installers a clear detail to work towards before finishes cover it up.

The membrane also needs to fit the construction’s moisture strategy. Internal vapour-control products and vapour-open options serve different purposes, so the choice should follow the building design. Our team can help you review product options and find the relevant technical information.

Explore selected bestsellers

These four products from our bestsellers collection are a useful starting point for exploring the range.

Passive Purple for internal airtightness

Passive Purple spray and roller applied airtight paint creates an internal airtight layer with vapour control. It provides a liquid-applied option for larger surface areas within the project’s airtightness design.

Passive Purple Brush for detailed connections

Passive Purple Brush airtight detailing paint is a fibre-reinforced membrane for internal junctions and service penetrations. Brush application helps address the connections around the wider airtight layer.

Passive Purple External for the building envelope

Passive Purple External façade membrane combines external airtightness and weather protection in a vapour-open coating. The spray and roller version is an option where the design calls for this type of external membrane.

Passive Purple X for specified applications

Passive Purple X spray and roller applied airtight paint is another option in our bestselling range, listed for internal and external applications. Speak to our technical team about its suitability for your proposed construction.
