Welcome to AeroBarrier

"AeroBarrier could very well be the end game in our industry's search for a comprehensive, cost-effective way to control leaks through building enclosures.  Properly sealing a home or building to precise levels can be time consuming, stressful to site staff and expensive.  With ever increasing expectations of homeowners and changing building codes, homes will be expected to be more air tight than ever.  There isn't a more important technology in our industry today."

"AeroBarrier may be the most important innovation to hit the building community in years.  We were seeking a tighter building envelope and AeroBarrier answered the call.  The technology is easily deployable in the field, delivers results immediately which is invaluable, and works well in a fast paced production environment.  You may be able to overcome the inefficiencies of manual sealing by repeating the process over and over, but it would require more expensive labor hours and still no guarantee.  AeroBarrier is fast and you know the results before you are even finished."

"It was blowing people's minds - mostly because monitoring compartmentalization in a multi-family building under construction is typically a very difficult, time consuming task.  The level of coordination and commitment you need to get from all contractors on the job is critical as it is nearly impossible to achieve.  With AeroBarrier, it's simply not a problem."

The space needs to be aired out for 30 minutes after sealing.  This is done by opening windows and running the fan.  Work in the space can continue as soon as the sealing equipment is removed.

Yes; Our blower door has electric heaters built in which provides heat as the house is pressurized.  In the winter we also have to ensure the home is preheated before we get started. 

AeroBarrier can be applied at any time after the space can be pressurized.   Rough-in or early stages of drywall is the most economical, but it can be applied to completely finished spaces.  At Great Lakes Building Innovations, we even seal occupied homes by protecting all finished surfaces and possessions with plastic and drop cloths.

A team of UC Davis building scientists dedicated 5 years to research and development, determined to make envelope sealing quick, easy, and affordable.  We became an authorized dealer so we could help builders and homeowners improve their homes throughout Michigan.

Application time depends on what the target ACH is for the house.  Typical applications take between 90 and 120 minutes.

If AeroBarrier is applied at rough-in or right after drywall is installed, there in very minimal preparation required. Vertical surfaces like walls and windows require no covering. All designed openings, such as ducts, electrical and plumbing, need to be covered prior to sealing. All finished horizontal surfaces need to be covered.

If applied to an existing home, it is also important to cover and protect all possession.
