Ductwork Sealing in New Builds & Pre-Inspections

Are you looking for a reliable way to meet airtightness standards for your new HVAC system? Want to be absolutely sure it will perform exactly as designed? Do you want to save time on installation and avoid costly future repairs?

How to Get Started

Why Address Duct Leakage and What Are the Benefits of AEROSEAL?

Despite the common belief that HVAC systems in new buildings are installed correctly and will function properly, the reality is often more complicated. Achieving the designed airtightness class—often B or C—is challenging for large systems. That’s why AEROSEAL can help you!

How Does AEROSEAL Work?

We apply a special, health-safe sealing agent in the form of a fine mist (aerosol) to the HVAC ductwork. This mist flows through the entire system, and in areas where air is leaking, the aerosol particles begin to settle and fill the gaps. Through gradual layering, the gaps are completely sealed, and the material subsequently hardens permanently.

How does the whole process work

01 Measuring the leakage

We conduct an air-leakage test of your ductwork. We assess the current state of your HVAC system and find out the amount of the ductwork leakage. We then set up the next phase.

02 HVAC documentation

In order to seal the whole ductwork, we go through the HVAC documentation including HVAC unit parameters and assess ductwork installation to ensure a smooth and quick process of sealing.

03 Sealing the ductwork

We divide the ductwork into sections, pressurize it and let the aerosol in. Aerosol crystallizes only in the areas of decreased air pressure where the leaks occur. These areas are then sealed.

04 Confirming the tightness

After sealing the ductwork we measure the new airtightness class of the duct to make sure we reached the required tightness class. This goal is usually set as ATC3 (C).

Our Measurement and Sealing Technology

přístroj wohler dp 700

Woehler DP700

To measure the airtightness of HVAC ductwork, we use a certified device from Wohler. The device undergoes annual calibration at an independent laboratory so that we can rely on the measurement results.

Aeroseal

For sealing HVAC ductwork, we use the licensed, patented Aeroseal technology, which is unrivaled worldwide. We are official Aeroseal partners, and our technicians are trained in the application and use of this technology.

Modern accessories

In our work, we use our own jigs and accessories to cover or block off HVAC ductwork while preparing individual sections. We use 3D printers to manufacture these, and our technicians are constantly improving and optimizing their use.

Our Experience

„It was a joy watching the quick progress and witnessing the astounding results during the cleaning of all air-handling systems at our St. Valentin location. I will not hesitate to recommend you in the future!”
Martin Steindl, Maintenance & Facility Management, ENGEL, St. Valentin
We appreciate long term cooperation, smooth and effective communication and high quality.
Petr Korec, Head of production 3D Puzzle, Ravensburger Karton s.r.o.
During every summer and winter production break we deal with a large volume of maintenance work that needs to be done by dry ice blasting, including exhaust cleaning. Alkion offers two-shift operations with 16 technicians that complete the job in a very short time.

History and Origins of AEROSEAL.

Like many successful projects, AEROSEAL began in a garage. Dr. Mark Modera invented a breakthrough aerosol-based sealing technology there. For the first time, it was possible to seal leaks and holes in air ducts from the inside. Modera’s invention was very well received by the industry and even won the prestigious Energy Top 100 award from the U.S. Department of Energy. AEROSEAL has been a proven choice for 30 years, and we are now bringing it to the Czech Republic.

Can AEROSEAL help with the ESG reporting?

Yes! AEROSEAL effectively seals air ducts and reduces energy loss. It also improves air quality and employee comfort. AEROSEAL helps organizations achieve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and meet energy saving standards. As a result, it can be considered as a measure within sustainable energy use, which clients can include in their ESG reporting.

How long will the sealed ductwork last?

The American manufacturer of the technology guarantees that the system will last for 10 years after sealing. Experience shows that there is no problem to reach a period longer than 20 years.
