  • What is the lifecycle of the product, or how long does the tight seal last?
    Third-party lab testing reveals Aeroseal Envelope withstands a simulated 50-year durability test, with little or no seal degradation. Click here to see the durability test results.
  • What happens if any of the sealant were to accidentally get on something?
    Aeroseal Envelope can be cleaned off surfaces. We recommend using a standard citrus based cleaner as soon as possible.
  • What is a modified blower door?
    Aeroseal Envelope modifies its blower door by adding a heater onto the fan. This allows the system to achieve optimal room temperature and humidity during the sealing process, allowing more sealant to be sprayed into the space for a faster, more efficient sealing process.
  • Is your formula safe?
    Our formula is a water-soluble organic compound and is proven safe. The sealant is ultra-low VOC and because it is inert there is no chemical reaction needed to form a seal meaning there is no off-gassing. With more than 150,000 projects sealed to date, we’ve helped hospitals, surgery centers, schools, and public buildings make sure their air is clean, healthy and comfortable – and saved them energy and money in the process. In fact, our sealant is GreenGuard Gold Certified, meeting the stricter certification requirements used in schools and healthcare facilities. Please refer to SDS attached.
  • Where is Aeroseal available?
    In August 2023, IAQ Services achieved a significant milestone by introducing Aeroseal Envelope to Australia, making us the pioneers in this ground breaking technology in the region. Call us today to discuss your envelope sealing needs 0425 249 788.
  • What size leaks will this seal?
    Aeroseal Envelope seals holes as large as 12mm, and as tiny as a human hair. Aerosol sealing is extremely effective at sealing narrow gaps and extremely small holes that are typically not cost-effective to seal manually, or that are missed using manual sealing techniques.
  • How large of a space can this be used?
    Aeroseal Envelope has been used in small apartments and hallways as long as 170m. As long as the space can be pressurised, it can typically be sealed. Additional blower doors can be added to increase the pressure in larger spaces.
  • How does it work?
    Aeroseal Envelope is an interior applied air sealing system that seals building envelope leaks up to 12mm. The waterborne sealant is aerosolised and injected into a pressurised home. The sealant is self-guided to the edges of visible and invisible leaks to create a seal by accumulating across the leak surface. The sealant is applied and dries quickly, before system cleanup is complete. This ensures construction can resume shortly after the process is complete with little to no impact on standard construction schedules. The Aeroseal Envelope system measures envelope leakage in real-time, enabling the system to dial-in specific air leakage requirements with precision and guarantee the results.
  • How is leakage measured?
    The Aeroseal Envelope system uses a modified blower door to measure envelope leakage during the process. The blower door is calibrated to meet ASTM Standard E779, E1554, CGSB-149.10-M86, EN 13829, ATTMA Technical Standard 1, NFPA 2001, RESNET and USACE.
  • How much does Aeroseal Envelope cost?
    Cost depends on the construction phase and targeted air tightness levels. Once we have your job specifications, we provide a written quote immediately. Speak with IAQ Service today on 0425 249 788.
  • How long after the sealing process can work resume in the space?
    The area needs to be aired out for 90 minutes after the sealing is complete. During this time, the sealing equipment and coverings are removed.
  • What's in the actual material being sprayed?
    The Aeroseal Envelope sealant is based on a waterborne acrylic that has been used as a fluid-applied permeable air barrier for many years. The sealant is GREENGUARD Gold certified and has been tested according to various ASTM standards and NFPA 285 for fire spread, smoke production, adhesion, antifungal properties and tensile strength. The sealant is ultra-low VOC and has no off-gassing. Please see SDS attached
  • How much does Aeroseal Duct cost?
    Cost depends on the construction phase and targeted air tightness levels. Once we have your job specifications, we provide a written quote immediately. Speak with IAQ Service today on 0416 187 908.
  • Do ducts need to be cleaned before sealing?
    Extremely dirty ducts should be cleaned. We recommend the technician assess the condition of the ducts prior to sealing.
  • How does Aeroseal Duct sealing work in buildings?
    Aeroseal Duct is a simple process that easily fits into your current project workflow.
  • Will my building smell?
    There is a mild odour during sealing (similar to Elmer’s Glue) which will dissipate by the next day (if not before)
  • What is the sealant made of?
    The primary component is Vinyl Acetate Polymer, which is used in water based paints, hair spray, and chewing gum.
  • Can I clean my ducts if they are sealed?
    Ducts of all material types can be successfully cleaned after sealing.
  • How big of a leak can be sealed?
    Up to a 14mm hole can be sealed during the normal range of sealing productivity.
  • Can Aeroseal Duct improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in buildings?
    Yes, many hospitals, hotels, high-rise apartment buildings, commercial office buildings, train lines, military base, resident complexes, and university buildings have used Aeroseal Duct to improve IAQ and help eliminate odour issues and stop the spread of germs.
  • What about leaks that are too big?
    Broken and disconnected ducts and large leaks need to be fixed prior to sealing. As a turn-key solutions provider, Aeroseal dealers could potentially provide our services in solving these problems for your project needs.
  • Do you offer a guarantee?
    Yes. Our proven duct sealing process is verifiable and guaranteed.
  • Will all the insides of my ductwork be coated with sealant?
    No. Our formula doesn’t coat or line your ducts. The only sealant remaining after the Aeroseal technician is done will be over the leak that was sealed.
  • How do I know if my building / project needs Aeroseal?
    If your duct work is leaking by 5% or more, Aeroseal Duct is required for the building to meet code. Aeroseal Duct sealing can help your project meet duct tightness requirements, improve IAQ and building comfort and avoid the costs of replacing ducts.
