What is an Air Barrier?
An air barrier is a critical component in modern building construction, designed to prevent uncontrolled air leakage into and out of a building. By creating a continuous seal, air barriers enhance energy efficiency, improve indoor air quality, and reduce moisture infiltration that can lead to mold and damage.
Types of Applications
Roller
AIR-SHIELD TMP can be applied directly from the container; a ¾” (19.1 mm) nap roller is recommended. Apply AIR-SHIELD TMP on a vertical surface to achieve a nominal film thickness of as required in the COVERAGE section for that type of substrate.
Types of Applications
Sprayer
questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a liquid membrane air barrier?
A liquid membrane air barrier is a fluid-applied coating designed to form a seamless, flexible barrier on building surfaces. It helps prevent air leakage, moisture infiltration, and enhances energy efficiency.
Is the liquid membrane permeable?
Yes, the air barrier allows vapor to pass through while stopping air and water infiltration, helping maintain moisture control in the building envelope.
What types of buildings can benefit from an air barrier?
Air barriers are ideal for both residential and commercial buildings. They improve energy efficiency, air quality, and protect the structure from moisture damage.
Can air barriers be used in all climates?
Yes, air barriers are effective in all climates. Whether you’re in a cold or humid region, they help maintain a controlled indoor environment by preventing air leaks and moisture issues.
How long does an air barrier last?
When properly applied, liquid membrane air barriers offer long-lasting protection, with a lifespan typically matching that of the building.
