Why Air Tightness Matters in Saudi Arabia
In Saudi Arabia’s hot climate, cooling accounts for a large share of a building’s energy consumption. Even the smallest gaps in walls, ceilings, windows, or ductwork can allow cooled air to escape, forcing HVAC systems to work harder. This not only drives up energy bills but also increases CO₂ emissions from power generation. Improving air tightness is one of the most effective ways to cut energy waste and AeroBarrier is changing how it’s done.
What Is AeroBarrier?
AeroBarrier is an advanced air sealing technology that uses a pressurized mist of non-toxic sealant to automatically find and close leaks, even in hard-to-reach places. Unlike traditional sealing methods that require manual application, AeroBarrier works from the inside out, sealing gaps as small as 0.3 millimeters with pinpoint accuracy.
How AeroBarrier Works
- Preparation – Technicians pressurize the building using specialized equipment.
- Mist Application – The sealant is released into the pressurized space, where it’s drawn to leaks.
- Automatic Sealing – The mist collects at gaps and cracks, sealing them without covering surfaces.
- Verification – Real-time monitoring ensures the building meets the desired air tightness level.
This process typically takes only a few hours and causes minimal disruption to occupants.
Benefits for Saudi Properties
1. Lower Energy Bills
By reducing air leakage, cooling systems run more efficiently, cutting electricity use by up to 30%.
2. Improved Comfort
Airtight buildings maintain more consistent temperatures, eliminating hot and cold spots.
3. Healthier Indoor Air
Better sealing reduces dust, allergens, and pollutants entering from outside.
4. Reduced Carbon Footprint
Less energy use means fewer CO₂ emissions aligning with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 sustainability goals.
Where AeroBarrier Makes the Biggest Impact
- New Constructions – Ensuring airtightness before occupancy maximizes efficiency from day one.
- Renovations – Sealing older buildings can drastically improve performance without major structural changes.
- Commercial Properties – Offices, hotels, and retail spaces benefit from lower operating costs and improved comfort.
AeroBarrier and Saudi Vision 2030
As the Kingdom works toward reducing energy consumption and improving environmental standards, technologies like AeroBarrier offer a practical solution. They help property owners meet new building codes, reduce operating costs, and contribute to national sustainability targets.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is AeroBarrier safe for people and pets?
Yes. The sealant is water-based, non-toxic, and certified as safe for indoor environments. - How long does the sealing process take?
Most projects are completed in just a few hours, depending on the property size. - Can AeroBarrier be used in existing buildings?
Absolutely. It works in both new and existing properties with minimal disruption. - Does AeroBarrier require ongoing maintenance?
No. Once applied, the seal is durable and designed to last for the life of the building. - How much energy can I save with AeroBarrier?
Savings vary, but many property owners see a 15–30% reduction in cooling costs.
