Air & Vapor Barrier

An air barrier is a system of water and solvent-based materials that control the movement of air, water and vapor both into and outside of a building. An air barrier "wraps" the building and ensures that it is protected from the negative effects of air leakage.

Murphy Company often recommends fluid applied air/vapor barriers and their complimentary accessory products which work together in providing a seamless barrier that guards against uncontrolled leakage of air, excessive energy usage, poor interior air quality and moisture damage. These products also provide the flexibility to evolve with each of your project designs.
