Forever Breathe

Foreverbreathe, Purity Homes

Foreverbreathe™ high performance wall system allows moisture vapour to exit the interior passing through the wool insulation where heat is retained through a thermodynamic process that keeps the inner wall dry.

An effect currently mitigated by energy sapping mechanical air movement systems or a reliance on occupants to open windows and ventilate.

As moisture is evaporated out of the wool fibre, energy is absorbed. Similarly, as moisture is absorbed into the wool fibre, energy is released.

Foreverbreathe Facts

Consider these facts

  • The overwhelming majority of chemicals in built environments remain untested.
  • The vogue strategy in the building industry of airtight shells and increasingly chemically-based construction materials, is broadly accepted throughout the industry.
  • An ever increasing volume of nasty chemical encapsulated interior products, decorative coatings and high moisture levels are trapped within the airtight shell to form what is known as a chemical cocktail effect. An effect currently mitigated by energy sapping mechanical air movement systems and calculations that determine the total area included for opening windows.
  • Indoor air quality has been estimated to be an average of 5-10 times more unhealthy than outside air (EPA, WHO).
  • Building failures are on the increase with wall solutions failing within warranty periods.
  • The airtight strategy and the value structure that supports it should be earnestly re-examined. There is a better way.
