Viaflex VaporBlock under-slab vapor barrier is designed to retard moisture migration through concrete slabs and walls to protect your structures from mold, mildews and fungi.
Stego Wrap Vapor Barrier 15-Mil is designed not only for effectiveness but also for longevity. This vapor barrier is manufactured with only the highest grade of prime, virgin, polyolefin resins which allow this product to greatly resist degradation.
Avoidance of the installation of vapor barriers such as polyethylene vapor barriers, foil faced batt insulation and reflective radiant barrier foil insulation on the interior of air-conditioned assemblies – a practice that has been linked with moldy buildings (Lstiburek, 2002).
HUSKY Yellow Guard Vapor Barriers are manufactured to be used in contact with soil and granular fill under concrete slabs, beams and footings and provide exceptionally low water vapor permeance. Restricts migration of soil gases such as radon and methane. Formulated from top-quality polyethylene (polyolefin) resins.
Moisture barriers are a key part of home construction. A moisture barrier, also called a vapor barrier or vapor retarder, is a material that stops water and moisture from passing through walls, floors, and other parts of a building.
