In the construction industry, meeting stringent building regulations is not just a matter of compliance—it’s a marker of quality, efficiency, and sustainability. One of the most critical aspects of modern buildings, particularly in the UK, is achieving airtightness. As building developers look for reliable solutions to not only meet but exceed these standards, AeroBarrier technology emerges as an innovative solution and game-changer. We offer developers the ability to scale up their airtightness results and secure airtightness scores on time, every time, thereby ensuring smooth regulatory approval and enhancing overall building performance.
Despite its importance, achieving the required levels of airtightness is often a challenge for developers. Traditional methods, such as manual sealing using caulk, silicone, expandable foam and tapes, are extremely time-consuming, inconsistent, prone to human error and financially costly. Moreover, as building designs become more complex, maintaining airtightness across various construction stages becomes increasingly difficult.
This is where we come in. AeroBarrier offers a cutting-edge solution that simplifies and accelerates the process of achieving airtightness. The technology is both groundbreaking and practical, providing several benefits that make it ideal for developers aiming to scale up their results.
AeroBarrierUK offers a host of advantages that make it a valuable tool for developers:
Guaranteed Airtightness: One of the most significant benefits of AeroBarrier is its ability to guarantee airtightness results. Our technology allows developers to achieve specific airtightness targets with precision, providing peace of mind that the building will pass regulatory air tests.
Scalability: Whether you’re working on a single home or a large-scale development, AeroBarrier can be scaled to fit the project’s needs. The process is fast, efficient, and can be applied to a wide range of building types and sizes – the more, the better! Using AeroBarrier on your development could save you 2 working days per dwelling; build 100 and get one free!
Cost-Effectiveness: By automating the sealing process, we can help reduce the labour costs associated with manual sealing methods. Additionally, by ensuring compliance on the first attempt, we eliminate the need for costly rework and retesting.
Time Savings: The AeroBarrier sealing process can be completed quickly, often in just a few hours, minimising delays in the construction timeline. This is particularly beneficial for developers who need to stay on schedule in fast-paced projects.
Improved Building Performance: Buildings treated with AeroBarrier not only meet airtightness requirements but also perform better in terms of energy efficiency and occupant comfort, making them more attractive to buyers and tenants.
EPC Ratings: AeroBarrier allows builders to ‘dial in’ their airtightness results, ensuring that EPC calculations can be based on lower, more accurate and measured air permeability scores, rather than a less efficient or draughtier backstop. This will not only give a better EPC rating but helps to increase the value of the home and save money by reducing the size of an air source heat pump or minimising the number of solar panels required.
In an industry where efficiency, sustainability, and compliance are key, AeroBarrier technology stands out as a transformative solution for building developers. By offering a reliable, scalable, and guaranteed method of achieving airtightness, we not only help developers meet building regulations but also enhance the overall quality and performance of their projects. As the demand for airtight, energy-efficient buildings continues to grow, integrating AeroBarrier into your construction process could be the key to staying ahead of the curve and delivering superior results.
