Our team specializes in crawl space systems and handles every step of a project with precision, including vapor barrier installation.
Vapor Retarder vs. Vapor Barrier
While they function similarly, there are important differences between vapor retarders and vapor barriers. A genuine vapor barrier must have a vapor permeance rating of less than .001. Unfortunately, typical builder-grade 6ML black poly fails to meet this standard. It functions merely as a vapor retarder, not a barrier. Made from recycled content, it deteriorates over time and becomes brittle and ineffective, necessitating frequent replacements.
Viper Reinforced Vapor Barrier Systems
At Complete Insulation, we use Viper reinforced vapor barriers to provide superior protection for your crawl space. These vapor barriers are made from high-quality, virgin resin, ensuring they are durable, puncture-resistant, and long-lasting. Options include:
Viper 10ML Reinforced Vapor Barrier
For enhanced durability, the Viper 10ML Vapor Barrier offers even greater performance. Like the 6.5ML version, it covers the floor and extends up the walls, sealed and fastened securely to prevent any moisture penetration.
