What is AeroBarrier
AeroBarrier is an innovative automated envelope sealing technology that aims to make energy efficient and performance homebuilding attainable for builders in Greater Vancouver. Certified as GreenGuard Gold and Built Green, our sealing technology safely and effectively seals the entire building, eliminating the problems and shortcomings of traditional construction techniques and replacing manual labour with an automated, computer-driven, precision-controlled operation.
How AeroBarrier Works
Step 1
BLOW 65km/hr WIND
The build-up pressure forces the wind to leak out of holes, crack and gaps
Step 2
FOG THE INTERIOR
Nozzles are strategically placed inside the building. Air pressure carries the airborne sealant to the leaky areas.
Step 3
PLUG THE AIR LEAKS
As the airborne sealant is pushed to the air leaks, the change of temperature coagulate and forms a solid sealant in the problem areas.
Step 4
SEAL THE ENTIRE BUILDING
The building get sealed all at once with our patented computerized process. No more guesswork, no more mess, no more failed blower door tests.
BC Energy Step Code
Beginning of 2019, municipalities throughout British Columbia will be mandating strict requirements for airtightness. Are you ready for this?
What does this mean to you as a builder in Greater Vancouver?
Builders – you must build homes with minimum airtightness requirements of 2.5ACH. Applying traditional materials such as membranes, tapes, and caulking sealants has always been the method of choice when attempting to create an airtight home; however, with the introduction of Step Code, those may no longer be sufficient. The challenge now is to balance efficiency, time, and cost in order to achieve 2.5ACH.
What is your plan going forward into Step Code?
With our specialized application, your home will not only meet, but exceed municipal requirements. In fact, it is possible to completely future-proof your home to Step 5 levels prescribed for the year 2030.

The importance of an airtight home
The importance of an airtight home - From the perspective of a high performance builder. If you are in the construction industry right now, it’s the most talked about topic, with issues ranging from the blower door test to the materials and techniques used to address airtightness of a building.
Pacific AeroBarrier Seals House + Laneway simultaneously (Vancouver, BC)
For this seal job we ran both trucks simultaneously. While working along side with the builder, our team was about to achieve a total of 74.3% reduction in envelope leakage in just under three hours.
Sealing a Heritage Building in Vancouver
We had the opportunity to seal six vacant units in this 107 year old building; the units started with an average initial airtightness of 15ACH and needless to say, we are not energy efficient.
