Internal membranes still aren’t something you see in most Australian homes, but we think that’s going to change.

As expectations around comfort, energy efficiency and durability keep moving forward, details like airtightness and moisture control are only going to become more important.

This is Pro Clima INTELLO doing both jobs on the inside of the building envelope.

Insulation is a relatively cost-effective part of the build that can make a big difference to comfort, energy use and reducing the risk of condensation and mould... if it’s done correctly.

But unfortunately, too often it’s just chucked in the wall without much thought going into it, leaving a lot of those benefits on the table.

Handy little trick for the series 500

10/08/2026

When we framed this area, we fixed timber to the steel like we normally would.

Luckily, Jessica, our Passive House consultant, picked it up and the timber needed to come out so we could continue the insulation across the steel and further reduce the thermal bridging through that area.

It’s also a good example of why we have a Passive House consultant involved throughout the build.

There are a lot of small details that go into building this way, and another experienced set of eyes on the job means things like this get picked up before they’re covered over.

We’d much rather pull it apart and fix it now than find out later we got it wrong after the cladding went on.

Surely I’m not the only one who feels like we’re losing a lot of the old skills because we’ve become such a throwaway society.

Something goes blunt or breaks, and instead of learning how to fix it, most people would rather just buy another one.

Sharpening a chisel is only one example, but it probably says a lot about where we’re heading.
