Walltite
WALLTITE® Insulating Air Barrier
Improve energy efficiency by up to 40%
Insulation. Air barrier. Vapor barrier. Drainage plain. One product…one application. Fully-tested and field-proven.
Thanks to its 90% closed-cell content, the WALLTITE® system combines industry-leading air permeance ratings and a superior insulation R-value to make a significant contribution to building energy efficiency.
The WALLTITE® insulating air barrier system:
- Eliminates uncontrolled air leakage
- Improves occupant comfort, health and safety
- Improves indoor environmental quality
- Improves structural strength
- Reduces condensation, moisture and mold problems
- Conforms to any shape
- Is approved by the Air Barrier Association of America (ABAA) to meet the mandated air barrier requirements of the Commercial Energy Codes of Massachusetts, Wisconsin and Michigan
- Is installed only by ABAA approved applicators with third-party quality control inspection
Compare WALLTITE® with traditional systems
| WALLTITE® | Sheet goods: peel ‘n’ stick, torch-applied | Open-Cell Foam | |
|---|---|---|---|
| R-Value | 6.0 – 7.5 | 0.0 | 3.5 |
| Air Permeability | Air leakage <0.001 L/s/m² @ 75 Pa at 1.5” thickness | Air barrier discontinuity allows leakage at poorly constructed joints | Air leakage 0.005 L/s/m² @ 75 Pa at 5.5” thickness |
| Absorbs Water | <4% v/v | Yes | >40% v/v |
| Allows Moisture Vapor In | No | Yes | Yes |
| Seamless Construction | Yes | Air barrier discontinuity allows leakage at poorly constructed joints | Yes |
| Adds Structural Strength | Yes – self-supporting, rigid, peak wind load resistance, fully adheres to wall system | No – supported by wall system, relies on adhesives | No – fully adheres to wall system, does not add structural strength |
| Installation | Fast – spray-applied, no fasteners, no gluing, no heat | Labor intensive – multi-step | Fast – spray-applied, no fasteners, no gluing, no heat |
