Delivering airtight, energy-efficient buildings since 1997, InsulVail partners with homeowners and builders across Summit, Eagle, Garfield, and Pitkin Counties to install continuous air barrier systems that protect your project’s performance and longevity.
An air barrier system controls unintended airflow through the building envelope, preventing energy loss, moisture intrusion, and indoor air quality issues that can compromise comfort and durability. Unchecked air leakage can account for up to 30% of a building’s energy loss, driving up HVAC loads and utility bills.
Many building codes and green-building certifications now require continuous air barriers to meet specific energy performance standards, ensuring that compliance and sustainability goals are achieved.
Choosing the right air barrier depends on your project’s substrate, climate zone, and performance targets. We install all major system types:
| System Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Mechanically Fastened | Engineered wraps or sheets secured to framing; requires taped seams |
| Self-Adhered Membranes | Peel-and-stick films that bond directly to substrates for airtight seals |
| Fluid-Applied Coatings | Seamless liquid membranes sprayed or rolled on to form a monolithic barrier |
InsulVail’s team of trained professionals delivers turnkey air barrier installations:
With InsulVail, you gain local expertise—serving Summit, Eagle, Garfield, and Pitkin Counties since 1997—backed by the resources of a national family of companies.
A compliant air barrier system must be continuous over the entire enclosure, impermeable to airflow, and durable for the building’s expected life span.
Common materials include fluid-applied coatings, self-adhered membranes, mechanically fastened wraps, rigid foam, sprayed foam, and certain sealants or gaskets. The key is selecting products designed and tested for long-term airtight performance.
Yes. Certified installers use industry-standard diagnostics and proven detailing methods to ensure full continuity, prevent moisture issues, and verify results with follow-up blower door tests.
When specified and installed correctly, modern membrane and coating systems maintain their airtight properties for decades with minimal maintenance.
