Is it spring or allergy season?

Spring is here, but for many, it marks the start of “allergy season.” At Watercolour Westport, we believe your home should be your ultimate retreat, especially when pollen counts soar.

As new homes are selling with the new HST savings, why would you buy a house that won’t take care of you? 

Award winning Land Ark Homes committed to building all homes in Watercolour Westport, to be healthier with twice filtered fresh air.

Our Net Zero Ready (NZR) homes are built with a level of air tightness that does more than save energy. Here are the top 3 reasons an airtight home is a game-changer for your health:

  1. Filtered Fresh Air: Unlike older homes that “leak” unrefined air, our airtight envelopes use a dedicated ventilation system (ERV) to pull in fresh air, double filter out allergens, and exhaust stale air.
  2. Zero Drafts, Almost Zero Dust: A tight seal means fine particles like ragweed and tree pollen can’t invite themselves into your living room through gaps in the framing. We use an air-sealing technology called Aerobarrier that fills even the smallest gaps to provide the best possible seal for each of our homes. We even test every home – it’s part of the Net Zero Ready standard that you deserve. 
  3. Humidity Control: By managing air exchange, we keep indoor humidity at levels that discourage mould and dust mites, common triggers for respiratory issues. No damp, dingy basements here. 

As Joe Germann, Construction and Service Manager, shared on our Watercolour Stories podcast:

At the end of the day, it’s about the health of the home and the health of the family… by building an airtight home, we are controlling the environment and making it a healthier place to live.
