Waterside passive house
in Greenport, Long Island

This home by the sea in Greenport, Long Island, was built in the 1970s by a German carpenter. The pro clima FRONTA QUATTRO and INTELLO PLUS membranes were used as part of an energy-oriented refurbishment project that brought the building up to Passive House standard.

  • Architects: Loadingdock5, Brooklyn, NY

The retrofitted passive house combines an idyllic waterside location ...

... and sleek interior design!

Impressions of the renovation work

The SOLITEX FRONTA QUATTRO connect breather membrane (weather-resistive barrier, WRB) can be seen here. It can be installed behind closed facades or open-jointed cladding and provides reliable protection for the building structure, as it is highly permeable to diffusion and, at the same time, offers maximum protection against driving rain.
