How long does Aerobarrier last?

Based on third-party lab tested, Aerobarrier can withstand a 50 year durability test with little or no degradation

What metrics will be measured during seal?

Home Tight uses a diagnostic system that measures tightness in ACH 50 and CFM before and after the seal, as well as percentage reduction in air leakage; also, equivalent leakage (in sq. in.) for pre and post seal is measured. Report for the seal can be generated and sent within day of seal
