What is air sealing and why is it important?

Air sealing is the process of identifying and sealing gaps and cracks in a building's envelope where air can leak in or out. It's crucial for energy efficiency, as it helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures, reduces drafts, lowers energy bills, and improves overall comfort. Proper air sealing also helps prevent moisture problems and improves indoor air quality.

What are the benefits of professional air sealing?

Professional air sealing offers multiple benefits including: reduced energy costs, elimination of drafts and cold spots, improved indoor air quality, prevention of moisture-related issues, enhanced HVAC system efficiency, increased building durability, and creation of a more comfortable living or working environment.

How do I know if my building needs air sealing?

Common signs that your building needs air sealing include: high energy bills, uncomfortable drafts, inconsistent temperatures between rooms, cold floors or walls, excessive dust, and visible gaps around windows, doors, or utility penetrations. Our professional inspection can identify all air leakage points in your building envelope.

What areas of a building typically need air sealing?

Common areas requiring air sealing include: windows and door frames, electrical outlets and switches, baseboards, attic hatches, rim joists in basements, plumbing and electrical penetrations, ductwork connections, recessed lighting fixtures, and any other gaps or cracks in the building envelope.

Building Envelope Air Seal

Building Better Homes for the Future

Air sealing the building envelope

Air sealing the building envelope is a critical component of effective energy efficiency in commercial and residential buildings. It is the process of preventing air leakage, which can lead to uncomfortable living or working conditions, higher energy bills, and moisture damage. A properly sealed building envelope will save money on heating and cooling costs by reducing drafts, maintaining consistent temperatures indoors, and preventing outside air from entering the structure.

What are the benefits of air sealing?

The benefits of air sealing go beyond improved energy efficiency; it also leads to improved indoor air quality by blocking pollutants such as dusts and gases from entering the building through leakage paths. Additionally, it reduces condensation problems since moisture is prevented from seeping into walls due to an effective seal.

In short, air sealing has a wide range of benefits including lower energy bills, reduced drafts, more comfortable living/working conditions, improved indoor air quality and less condensation issues. To ensure maximum benefit from proper air sealing of your building envelope in terms of performance and longevity speak to an experienced contractor who can evaluate your home’s needs accurately & design a plan accordingly.

How do I know if my home needs air sealing?

Air sealing starts with inspecting the walls, roof, windows and doors for any gaps or cracks that can allow air to leak in or out. Gaps around window frames, door frames, penetrations for wires/pipes and other places need to be sealed properly using caulks or weatherstrips. In addition to these measures, installing insulation materials in walls and attic helps to maintain the temperature inside the building by trapping heat during cold months and blocking heat during hot months.

Building Envelope Air Seal

The AeroBarrier Connect air sealing system is an innovative product that can be used in both single and multi-family applications. The technology utilizes a special adhesive that allows the sealant to adhere to various building materials, including drywall, lumber (treated and untreated), metal, and OSB. This makes the AeroBarrier Connect system a versatile option that can be applied pre or post drywall installation.
