Air Barriers
Are you interested in maximizing energy efficiency, improving occupant comfort, and protecting your commercial building from air leakage and moisture issues?
Air barrier systems are used to enhance building performance. Using a cavity wall air barrier ensures the occupants are more comfortable, are provided draft free space, and are protected from pollutants entering the building. Air Barrier Systems provide the only effective defense against air leakage and, more importantly, moisture issues. According to the Department of Energy, up to 40% of the energy used to heat or cool a building is lost to air that is then leaked into or out of a building.
Benefits
Prevent Moisture Buildup
Air barriers help prevent moisture buildup in commercial buildings by sealing the structure and blocking air and water from getting in or out. This is especially important in wet or humid climates, where excess moisture can cause mold, damage, and poor air quality. A good air barrier keeps the building dry, protects its structure, and reduces maintenance costs.
Reduce Heating Costs
Air barrier systems help lower heating costs by sealing buildings and reducing air leaks—a major cause of heat loss. This keeps indoor temperatures steady, easing the load on heating systems and cutting energy use. For businesses, that means cost savings and better efficiency. In agriculture, air barriers help maintain stable temps for livestock and crops, supporting healthier growth and less energy waste.
Improve Air Quality
Air barrier systems improve indoor air quality by sealing buildings and reducing air leaks, which can bring in pollutants and allergens. This is especially important in high-occupancy areas or where hazardous materials are used. Better air quality means a healthier environment and fewer health risks. Air barriers also boost energy efficiency, lowering the need for HVAC systems that contribute to pollution. They’re a smart choice for both commercial and agricultural buildings.
