In recent years, the use of air barriers in residential construction has seen a noticeable uptick. According to a recent report by Expert Market Research, the global air barrier market is projected to grow significantly through 2034, driven in large part by stricter energy codes and the growing demand for energy-efficient homes.
This got me thinking are air barriers becoming the new standard in residential builds?
I’d love to hear from others:
- Are air barriers now a regular part of your residential designs or builds?
- Do clients understand or ask about them, or is this still builder-driven?
- What are the main adoption drivers you’re seeing codes, performance, climate, or long-term savings?
- Any lessons learned from projects that did use air barriers?
If you’ve read the same trend or have data from your region, feel free to share. let’s dig into what’s really happening on the ground.
