Lammin Betoni relies on Vertia’s quality and strong expertise
Lammin Betoni manufactures top-quality concrete blocks and foundation products, as well as ambitious and custom-designed stone homes for both consumers and professional builders. Lammin’s quality assurance begins at the factory and continues through a meticulous calculation and delivery process. Lammi collaborates with Vertia on airtightness testing for homes. Airtightness testing ensures that no harmful leaks are accidentally left in the home’s hidden structures.
Lammin Betoni Oy is a family-owned business founded in 1956, a pioneer in concrete construction, and the market leader in its field.
– Lammi has extensive experience in precast production and stone house construction. We are an innovative and stable Finnish family business, says Lammi’s installation coordinator Joonas Sipari.
“I act as the link between the client and the contractor on projects, provide assistance with technical matters, and source the necessary resources for each client. I also serve as a technical expert for clients if they have any technical questions regarding Lammi-talo,” Sipari continues.

Leak testing is an important factor in quality assurance
Every Lammi Kivitalo block is carefully polished and quality-assured during the manufacturing process. Quality assurance continues through a meticulous calculation and delivery process that has been refined over decades.
– Quality assurance also involves a strong technical department that is ready to assist over the phone and, if necessary, on-site with the proper use of products. In building construction itself, quality assurance is achieved by using high-quality products and services from the industry’s leading experts. Consequently, starting a partnership with Vertia was an easy decision. Our confidence in their operations has been strong from the very beginning, Sipari notes.
At every Lammi house package project, customers can choose to purchase from Lammi a project implemented by Vertia two-stage leak test, which is designed to provide end users with a Lammi Kivitalo home that offers top-notch airtightness. The initial measurements taken during the framing phase make it possible to locate even the smallest leaks before the structures are enclosed and the house’s surfaces are finished.
– Airtightness testing is important even when it comes to a home’s energy certificate. In the best-case scenario, an airtight home can improve its energy rating—for example, from class B to class A. This can have a significant impact on the home’s resale value, among other things, Sipari explains.
“The most important task, however, is to ensure that no harmful air leaks are accidentally left in the building’s hidden structures,” Sipari emphasizes.
”Vertia is a flexible professional”
Vertia uses appropriate equipment to create a negative pressure environment in the shell-ready Lammi Kivitalo. If there is still a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house after this, the leak points can be located using thermal imaging from inside the house. If, for example, a temperature difference cannot be achieved in the summer, an air flow meter or smoke tracer can also be used to locate the leaks. Air leaks can also be detected by hand, as the 50 Pascal negative pressure generated by the equipment creates a noticeable airflow even from the smallest leaks.
– Vertia is a flexible professional in its field. Every construction project is unique, so the service provider must be able to treat each client and building project as an individual case. Coordinating schedules and working closely together during construction has proven to be extremely effective with Vertia. When you can rely on a partner’s expertise and even their ability to resolve potential issues, you can focus on your own work with the care it requires. A home construction project always involves hundreds of experts from various fields, each of whom plays their own important role in the project’s success, says Sipari.
“Improved customer satisfaction thanks to timely communication, as well as Lammi Kivitalot’s airtightness ratings—which have shown concrete improvement year after year—are signs that our collaboration has been fruitful,” Sipari concludes.
Reliability and quality at the core
Lammi Kivitalo has established its brand and position as a market leader over the decades by offering the industry’s highest-quality products and services. That is why it is important to Lammi that every home built with Lammi products is constructed in the best possible way, in accordance with our customers’ trust and without compromising on quality.
“When a customer makes what may be the biggest purchase of their life, they’re also buying trust. We strive to meet this need by offering the best expertise in our field,” Sipari explains.
– I wholeheartedly recommend Vertia’s services to all professionals in the field and first-time homebuilders. The peace of mind that comes from knowing everything is in order in terms of airtightness within a home’s hidden structures is a crucial part of living in a finished, new home. As life circumstances change—for example, when reselling a home—it is important that documented measurements have been taken and the house has been verified as being of high-quality construction, Sipari summarizes.
