When it comes to an air barrier, the basic requirements are pretty simple.
The bottom line is that you want a material that doesn’t allow air to pass through it. There are thousands of different building materials that are used constantly, day-to-day, that meet this requirement. The more critical situation is with continuous air barriers. The air barrier shall be joined in an air-tight and flexible manner to the air barrier material of adjacent systems, allowing for the relative movement of systems due to thermal and moisture variations and creep. This video provides details on air leakage performance requirements and other test criteria established by ABAA.
