Sealing and Encapsulating

Good indoor air is the lifeblood of buildings. Indoor air quality is affected by a wide range of factors, such as structural solutions, construction materials, and maintenance. Airtightness and control of harmful emissions play a crucial role. Proper ventilation, humidity control, and regular cleaning also significantly impact indoor air quality. Investing in high-quality air management systems and regular air quality assessments is essential for maintaining a healthy indoor environment.

Sealing or encapsulation?

When talking about making improvements to indoor air, ‘encapsulation’ and ‘sealing’ can often be confused, as both may be used on site when necessary. However, the difference between them must be taken into account to ensure that the correct construction measures are taken.

Sealing is primarily a matter of controlling airtightness – in other words, ensuring that the building’s internal air is changing properly through the intended inlets and outlets. Uncontrolled air leaks in structures can reduce indoor air quality, since they allow air to enter the building from the wrong places, impurely. Sealing can also improve energy efficiency by preventing heat leaks as well as air leaks.

Encapsulation is a solution that can be applied when structures release identified harmful emissions into indoor air, such as volatile organic compounds (VOC) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). It involves trapping harmful substances into structures to prevent their emissions from escaping into the indoor air. Encapsulation is also used to control moisture resulting from capillary action and diffusion.
