AeroBarrier Air Sealing System Installation in Tacoma, WA

Air leaks in a home, apartment or commercial building can impact indoor air quality, creating possible health concerns, and affect the performance of HVAC equipment, leading to significantly higher heating and cooling costs compared to properly sealed buildings of a similar size.

While conventional air sealing methods reduce air leakage significantly, they often fall short in more challenging areas like the shared walls of apartment complexes or offices.

When you need a reliable, high-performance air-sealing solution for your next residential or commercial project, choose AeroBarrier. At Pacific Partners Insulation South, we offer AeroBarrier as part of our air sealing and insulation services.

It provides a virtually continuous air barrier for any type of building, residential or commercial, and is instrumental in providing the comfort and performance our clients demand. We serve Tacoma and beyond, and we’re here to help with all your commercial and residential insulation needs.

What Is AeroBarrier?

AeroBarrier is a water-based, non-toxic acrylic sealant that’s installed as an aerosolized liquid, allowing it to travel through the air and seal even the smallest cracks and gaps in a structure by following the path of the air leak itself.

It’s one of the few products on the market that offers reliable airtightness on the first installation, and it provides up to an 80% reduction of air leakage in commercial buildings. From the gaps around outlets to the spaces between sill plates and concrete foundations, AeroBarrier can find and seal air leaks that other products may miss.

By choosing AeroBarrier to seal your residential or commercial building, you can enjoy these impressive benefits:

• Improved air quality with reduced dust, pollen, mold spores and VOCs
• Significantly lower air leakage and ACH50 ratings
• Greater HVAC performance or a reduction in HVAC size for new buildings
• Improved comfort with fewer drafts and cold spots
• Lower heating and cooling costs for the life of the building

How Does AeroBarrier Work?

AeroBarrier uses a unique and highly innovative installation technique to provide great results that can be monitored in real time. A modified blower is used to pressurize the building, and computer-controlled nozzles aerosolize and distribute the AeroBarrier sealant throughout the building.

The basic steps of the installation process include:

• Preparation: Any horizontal finished surfaces or openings that won’t be sealed, like the operable portions of windows and doors, will be taped off to prevent the sealant from reaching them.
• Setup: The nozzles, blower door, hoses, sensors, control unit and other equipment will be set into position and connected.
• Application: The blower pressurizes the building and a computer opens each nozzle, directing specific amounts of the AeroBarrier sealant to flow based on current temperature, humidity and pressure readings that are monitored by sensors placed in the room.
• Monitoring: As the AeroBarrier sealant is applied, the results can be monitored in real time from a laptop with a standard blower door test, allowing the process to continue until the desired airtightness or ACH50 rating is obtained.
• Cleanup: Once the AeroBarrier is applied, all the equipment is removed and the taped-off areas can be uncovered. Because AeroBarrier is a safe, non-toxic, water-based sealant, normal activities can resume in as little as 30 minutes after the installation.

AeroBarrier uses a unique acrylic formulation that can seal leaks up to half an inch wide, and the results can be dialed in to meet the unique requirements of your project.
