3M™ Air and Vapour Barrier Solutions

Tough air and vapour barriers that are also easy to install and self-seal around fasteners? We’ve got you covered.

Build Smarter, Even in the Toughest Conditions.

Energy efficiency is more important than ever. 30% of energy waste is caused by losses through the building envelope, and air tightness codes around the world are demanding a fix.

We’re here to help with solutions that protect better, last longer and install more easily so you can meet the standards that lead to energy savings.

Our membranes and tapes use 3M acrylic adhesive technology to perform in the toughest conditions on the tightest deadlines – giving you faster installation with less labour and better results.
