The Crawlspace Extreme Makeover
The most common vapor retarder installed in homes today is a 4 or 6 mil polyethylene loosely spread on the ground which gets torn, moved around, and deteriorates over time . However, we offer a top of the line choice: a 15-mil multi-layer, prime, virgin, polyolefin liner with sealed seams that line the crawlspace floor and walls.
Features
- The wall liner completely seals the crawlspace floor and walls. It is mechanically fastened to the walls and piers to a level above grade but below the wood subfloor to prevent any water or vapor intrusion
- The seams are overlapped and sealed with a special waterproof adhesive
- The membrane has a water vapor permeance rating of 0.036 perms according to ASTM E 96 and ASTM F 1249
- The life expectancy rating by ASTM E 154 is indefinite
- The membrane has a tensile strength of 54.4 lbf./in. and a puncture resistance of 2340 grams
- It costs about half the price of competing Crawlspace Encapsulation products
