Vapor Retarders and Barriers

Purpose: Vapor barriers and retarders, like the "Cetainteed MemBrain Vapor Retarder" and "Viper CS 6.5 mils Crawl Space Class A Woven Reinforced Vapor Barrier," are designed to inhibit the passage of moisture through walls, ceilings, and floors, thereby helping to prevent structural damage and mold growth.

Variety: Our offerings vary in thickness, permeability, and materials to suit specific use cases – from crawl spaces to roofs.

Selection Guidance: For regions with high humidity, a robust barrier like those in the "Viper CS" and "Viper II" series, which come in various mil thicknesses, may be optimal. For general use, consider the versatility of "Nu-Age" engineered poly sheeting available in several mils and colors.

House Wraps

Purpose: Products like "Wraptor Building HP House Wrap" serve to shield your building from water and wind, while also allowing water vapor to escape, preventing condensation and related damage within walls.

Variety: Offerings differ in permeability, represented in perms, to cater to diverse climatic conditions and specific architectural needs.

Selection Guidance: Select higher perm products like "Wraptor Building HP House Wrap 11 perm" for climates that need superior breathability and moisture escape, while lower perms, like the "Wraptor Building House Wrap 5 perm," can be selected for less demanding environments.

Synthetic Roofing Underlayments

Purpose: Products like "Synthetic Roofing Underlayments EXO50" act as a secondary barrier that protects the roof deck from moisture ingress until the roofing material is installed and continues to provide protection throughout the life of the roof.

Variety: Offerings are available in diverse weights and compositions to cater to various roofing types and weather conditions.

Selection Guidance: A heavier underlayment like "EXO50" is generally suitable for areas exposed to harsh weather conditions, while lighter versions like "EXO25-SB" might be ideal for more temperate climates.

Poly Sheeting

Purpose: Poly sheeting, such as products offered by "NU AGE" and "ALUF PLASTICS," is widely utilized for creating barriers in construction, covering materials, and as a temporary containment of debris or dust.

Variety: They are available in different thicknesses (mils) and sizes, providing options for different levels of durability and coverage.

Selection Guidance: Select heavier, durable options like the "20 ft x 100ft x 6mm Poly Sheeting" for projects requiring robust protection, while lighter and smaller sheets like "10ft x 25ft x 3mm Poly Sheeting" could be optimal for shorter-term or smaller-scale applications.

Accessory Products

Purpose: These accessories, like "Viper Vapor Tape" and "Viper Double Bond Butyl Tape," are designed to complement the installation of vapor barriers and other membrane products by ensuring seams, joints, and penetrations are sealed and secure.

Variety: From adhesives to reinforced poly sheeting, such as "Viper Vapor Scrim," these auxiliary products cater to different joining and reinforcing needs during installation.

Selection Guidance: Be sure to select accessories that are compatible with the primary membrane products you’re using to ensure optimal adherence and performance throughout the lifespan of the installation.

Specialized Insulation and Under Slab Solutions

Purpose: Such as "Insul-Tarp Under Slab Insulation" and "Viper II Platinum Under Slab Vapor Barrier," these products are engineered to offer robust insulation and moisture barrier under concrete slabs.

Variety: Available in varied thicknesses and material formulations to cater to diverse insulation needs and specific building requirements.

Selection Guidance: The selection largely depends on the regional climate and specific insulation requirements; robust products like "Viper II Platinum" could be beneficial in environments with high ground moisture.

While each product line is designed with superior engineering and tailored for specific applications, your selection should embody the specific requirements of your project, environmental conditions, and regulatory compliance. Always consider local building codes, project scale, and environmental factors when choosing a product from our comprehensive Membranes category to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your installations.
