Air Barriers control the unintended movement of air into and out
of a building enclosure. Air barrier systems are made up of a
number of materials which are assembled together to provide a
complete and total barrier to air leakage. The building
enclosure includes all walls, roofs and floors of the building
and can include connected parts or separations within a
building. The air barrier system essentially “wraps” the
building shell and ensures that it protects the building from
air leakage and its adverse affects. These effects can range
from energy, mold, occupant discomfort and more. They can also
reduce the life span of a building. A properly functioning air
barrier system provides a barrier against both the air leakage
and the diffusion of air caused by weather, wind, stack and
mechanical equipment pressures. Spray Foam Insulated Air Barrier
Systems are fully-adhered, providing a seamless, monolithic air
barrier that conforms to irregular shapes, slopes and allows
