‘Proper’ airtightness tapes
From Pro Clima, Siga and others. Seems old hat now but in guidance for airtightness I wrote only 15 years ago, I wrote that you really had to mechanically fit battens over each join in an airtight membrane to make sure it didn’t unstick. It was a big issue when I was trying to make airtight buildings in early 00’s and classic duct tape would fall off at the slightest hint of moisture etc!
