For Homeowners
Why Airtightness Matters in Your Home
A well air sealed home is more comfortable, healthier, and more energy efficient. In modern construction, airtightness plays an important role in how a home performs day to day.
Air leakage occurs when outside air enters and conditioned air escapes through small gaps in the building envelope. Reducing that leakage helps create a more controlled indoor environment.
Aeroseal is one method builders may use to improve airtightness by sealing small gaps throughout the home in a measurable and verified way.
Everyday Benefits of a Well-Sealed Home
Improved airtightness can contribute to:
More consistent indoor temperatures from room to room
Fewer drafts
Reduced heating and cooling demand
Improved indoor air quality by limiting unwanted air infiltration
Lower risk of moisture-related issues
Reduced pathways for insects and pests
Reduced outside noise transmission
When air leakage is reduced, the home becomes more predictable and easier to heat and cool.
Measurable and Verified Results
Airtightness is not based on guesswork. Builders verify air leakage performance using blower door testing, which measures how much air enters and exits the home.
When air sealing is completed using a controlled system, results can be monitored and documented to confirm performance levels have been achieved.
