The system is intended for use in conjunction with other components designed to improve air tightness, in order to achieve best outcomes, such as superior joinery, electrical fittings, down-lights, mechanical ventilation systems and construction considerations.

The system is suitable for use in most wall and ceiling construction types that already meet the requirements of the New Zealand Building Code and in particular Clause H1. Including; Timber and steel framing in accordance with NZS 3604 and Nash Standard Part two. 

• The AeroBarrier sealing system is limited to use in buildings that meet the requirements of the New Zealand Building Code in every respect including Clause H1.
• An acceptable mechanical ventilation system must be installed where the AeroBarrier system will reduce the ACH (Air Changes per Hour) to less than 5 ACH.
• Unless otherwise specifically designed by a suitably qualified professional, the plane of the air seal should be at the interior lining of the wall and ceiling with insulation on the outer side.
• AeroBarrier sealant cannot be installed when temperatures are less than 8°C or where ambient internal moisture content is over 90%. In some circumstances a heater may be used to control these limitations.

AeroBarrier Sealant will meet the requirements of following clauses of the NZBC.

• Clause B2 DURABILITY: Performance B2.3.1 (a) not less than 50 years.
• Clause F2 HAZARDOUS BUILDING MATERIALS: Performance F2.3.1

This system is used extensively in the USA, Canada, UK and Europe.

The Aerobarrier system is a recognised and proven method to contribute to gaining certification for the following enhanced performance certification.

• NZGBC — New Zealand Building Council: Green Star Ratings 
• PHINZ — Passive House Institute New Zealand: Passive House
