Air & Vapor Barrier Services

An air or vapor barrier is a crucial component of the building envelope that prevents the uncontrolled flow of air or water into and out of the structure. Wells sealants and restoration team provides sheet-applied and liquid-applied air and vapor barrier solutions to effectively stop air infiltration, ensuring a tightly sealed building enclosure.

Benefits of Air Barriers

Air barriers have a significant ROI by reducing energy costs, maintenance costs, and operational costs. An NIST study found that air barriers can reduce energy usage by up to 37%. Our air and vapor barrier services prevent issues such as:

• Mold
• Moisture
• Humidity
• Unwanted air flow

That’s why every detail matters in creating an impenetrable barrier. Our technicians adhere to manufacturers’ recommendations for installation and detailing, paying special attention to common areas for air leaks, like corners, windows and other building envelope breaks.

Wells utilizes air barrier products from reputable manufacturers and will recommend the right product to fit your structure’s needs, whether it’s sheet- or fluid-applied barriers, or non-permeable and vapor-permeable applications.

Understanding building systems, detailing, preparation, temperature considerations and access difficulties are essential when incorporating air barriers into the building envelope. Wells is ABAA and SWRI certified.
