What is AeroBarrier?
AeroBarrier is a cutting-edge envelope sealing system that simultaneously measures and seals building envelope air leaks.
How It Works

Temporarily block windows and doors; cover electrical receptacles and switches; protect finished surfaces.

Spray a fog of sealant particles that travels to the air gaps and holes.

Pressurize the space and its air leakage with a computer-controlled atomization system.

Allow the particles to build up around any gaps and holes to seal leakage areas without coating surfaces.
