Temporarily block windows and doors; cover electrical receptacles and switches; protect finished surfaces.
Pressurize the space and its air leakage with a computer-controlled atomization system.
Spray a fog of sealant particles that travels to the air gaps and holes.
Allow the particles to build up around any gaps and holes to seal leakage areas without coating surfaces.

Affordable Airtightness
In residential applications, reduced envelope leakage means increased durability, reduced mechanical loads, improved energy efficiency, and more economical renewable energy options. More importantly, a tighter building envelope can help increase the comfort of a home and improve the overall indoor air quality within the home, leading to a better living environment for the homeowner.
Code Compliance Made Easy
AeroBarrier is a perfect solution for compartmentalization and multi-family applications. Not only will a tighter building envelope help save energy, but it will also help stop moisture drive and reduce stack effect in the entire building. It will also help control sound and smell transfer, improve overall occupant comfort, and help mitigate pest movement which helps to enhance the environment in each unit.
Fastest Path to Energy Savings
AeroBarrier is not only for residential applications. Aerosol sealing is proven to be extremely effective at sealing commercial spaces too. In commercial projects, AeroBarrier is able to reduce up to 80% of the building leakage and more importantly, it is able to bring the buildings within the USACE specification for envelope leakage. Using AeroBarrier in new or retrofit commercial applications improves the sealing effectiveness, reduces labor costs, and improves the consistency of installation.
Step 1
Equipment is setup at job site. Conveniently transported by trailer, AeroBarrier install equipment is mobile and portable. The equipment includes a compressor, generator, blower door, emitters, hoses, and the AeroBarrier machine.
Step 2
Prep the space. This includes taping and covering horizontal surfaces and areas that will not be sealed. Also, emitters are setup throughout the area to be sealed.
Step 3
Pressurize the space with the use of a blower door. A computer does the rest, including the control of temperature, pressure, humidity, and distribution of sealant.
Step 4
See the results in real-time. Throughout the application process, the computer monitor displays the ACH improvement, allowing you full control over your desired level of envelope tightness or leakage reduction.
Step 5
Run a final blower door test to verify the sealing results. At the end of the process, receive anAeroBarrier Certificate, with a pre and post leakage report.
