How does Aerobarrier work?2023-02-08T16:22:33-08:00

AeroBarrier may be applied at any time between after framing inspection is complete and prior to occupancy. If you are building a new home, the BEST time to apply AeroBarrier is AFTER DRYWALL IS COMPLETED and JUST BEFORE PRIMER COAT IS APPLIED. The WORST time to apply AeroBarrier is at final stage – you will require to mask the ENTIRE HOUSE, which will be extremely costly and time consuming.

Yes, AeroBarrier can be applied at any stage however there is a preparation procedure to follow at final stage

How long does it take to seal?2023-02-08T16:31:34-08:00

The entire AeroBarrier process, from setup to completion, takes approximately 6 to 8 hours for a typical single-family home. When Passive House or NET ZERO levels are re quired, additional time may be required.

When can my trades come back to work?2023-02-08T16:31:54-08:00

Work can resume in the space as soon as the sealing equipment is removed; allow an entire day for the AeroBarrier process in the construction schedule

The sealant is a stable, non-toxic, waterborne acrylic sealant.

What needs to be covered? Can you guys do that?2023-02-08T16:33:06-08:00

If AeroBarrier is applied at rough-in or post-drywall, there is very minimal preparation required by the Builder. Vertical surfaces like walls, doors and windows require no covering. All designed openings, such as ducts, electrical and plumbing need to be plugged prior to sealing.

If AeroBarrier is applied at final stage, all finished horizontal surfaces need to be covered, we have a team that can prep / mask at an additional cost
