Spray Foam Air/Moisture Barrier Systems

Air Barriers control the unintended movement of air into and out of a building enclosure. Spray Foam systems provide the highest level of thermal insulation and provides a monolithic, fully sealed air and moisture barrier. Its spray applied installation process speeds construction and reduces labor costs substantially (estimated up to $1/square foot).

Benefits include:

• Seamless
• Fully-adhered
• Conforms to irregular shapes (masonry anchors)
• Strengthens the building structure*
• Cost efficient (est. $2.50/ SqFt vs. $3.50/ SqFt standard air barrier system)
• Thermal Barrier – R-7/ inch
• Energy efficient*
  Estimate air leakage deduction by up to 83%
  Reduce gas bills by more than 40 percent
  Reduces electrical consumption in excess of 25 percent
• Increased air quality due to lack of air infiltration, reduced allergens and pollens entering the building*
• Qualified LEED Certification credits as a green building product*
