The ARANI 6" Vapour Barrier housing is engineered with thermally rated construction that safely contains heat generated by recessed lighting fixtures, preventing direct contact between the fixture and surrounding insulation. This design allows the housing to be fully covered with blown-in or batt insulation — classified as IC-rated compatible — eliminating the need for clearance gaps that would otherwise reduce your ceiling's thermal performance and create energy loss.

Certified to meet cUL and CSA safety standards, this vapour barrier enclosure satisfies Canadian building code requirements for maintaining a continuous air barrier in insulated ceiling assemblies. The sealed design minimizes air leakage, which is a critical factor in passing blower door tests and meeting increasingly stringent energy efficiency targets in residential construction across all Canadian provinces.

The housing is constructed from durable, lightweight materials that resist moisture and maintain structural integrity over time. Its design accommodates a broad range of 6" LED recessed fixtures and slim-profile downlights, and the generous interior dimensions provide ample room for wiring connections and efficient LED drivers. This makes installation faster and cleaner, whether you're a seasoned contractor or a confident DIY homeowner working on your own renovation.

By properly sealing around your recessed lighting penetrations, this vapour barrier housing contributes directly to lower heating and cooling costs. Unsealed pot light openings are among the most common sources of energy loss and moisture intrusion in residential ceilings — problems that can lead to ice damming, mould growth, and inflated utility bills. The ARANI vapour barrier box addresses all of these concerns in a single, easy-to-install solution that protects both your home's comfort and its long-term structural health.
