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
