Invisible air gaps the size of a window

You Wouldn’t Ignore a Hole This Big! So Why Ignore Hidden Air Leaks?

New homes can hide the equivalent of one open window in invisible air gaps. Older homes often hide the equivalent of two or three open windows. EnergyTight™ seals them all.

The Problem

Even high-spec, brand-new homes can leak the equivalent of a window’s worth
of air — gaps you’ll never see, but always pay for. Older New Zealand homes are
far leakier still, which is why they’re so much harder to keep warm.

Either way, that means heat escaping in winter, warmth building up in summer,
and energy slipping away every single day. It also means moisture creeping into
walls and ceilings, creating the conditions for condensation and mould. No
heating system can keep up if warm air is escaping through dozens of hidden gaps and cracks. The problem isn’t the heating — it’s the building.

The good news: these gaps can be found and sealed, in new builds and existing homes alike, without changing how your home is built.

“To avoid spending significant amounts of time trying to find little leaks, it was going to be easier to use AeroBarrier.”

Introducing EnergyTight™

EnergyTight™ is Aero’s whole-home approach to airtightness and ventilation — designed to make new homes and existing homes warmer, drier, and healthier, without without having to change the way you build.

By sealing the invisible gaps in your building envelope and pairing it with proper ventilation, EnergyTight™ homes breathe continuously — not just when a window is open. That means consistent temperatures year-round, lower energy bills, and fresher indoor air, whether you’re building new or upgrading an older home.

Every EnergyTight™ home is measured and certified, so you get a proven result — not just a promise.
