The Barrier


The Barrier™

 The Barrier™ is the World's finest concrete and radiant under slab insulation by providing vapor and moisture barrier protection in combination with insulation from conduction. It works better, is cost effective, easy to use. It is a vapor/moisture/insulator and radon protector. The Barrier is a rolled foam board insulation of extruded expanded flexible recycled polystyrene foam (EPS).

 

The Barrier is suitable for the
following applications:

~Concrete
~Concrete Slabs
~ Radiant Floor
~Geothermal
~Crawlspaces
~Foundations
~Residential
~Commercial
~Industrial

 

MULTIPLE APPLICATION USE

The Barrier is a 100% vapor, water, moisture barrier as well as a thermal break of conductive heat transfer and radon resistor all in one product. The Barrier uses an extruded EPS with laminated heavy-duty polyethylene film on both sides: it stops 100% of any and all forms of moisture transfer, try that with rigid foam sheets. The Barrier's multi-layer product make up is an effective radon retarder and when proper sealing and gas infiltration procedures are used, the Barrier blocks the radon transmission. Radon gas is the 2nd leading cause of Lung Cancer and builders should be aware that this product is a RADON Protector for their customers. Termites also are deterred by the naturally occurring boron in the Barrier.

 

Roll SIZES ARE 4 x 60 = 240 sq ft per roll. In addition to the high performance characteristics and standards the Barrier is setting for the underground insulation/under concrete insulation market, it has the patented self-sealing double faced taped edges. Note: Film width is 50.5" giving a 2.5" overlap for a waterproof seal.

• There is a 2" lip running the lineal length (60') of the material with a 1" double-faced tape adhesive along the other edge. This patented self-sealing feature allows for extreme ease of use and NO SEAMS.

• The material is flexible. You can walk on the material without cracking or breaking. Try that with foam board products.

• The core component is an extruded (not block molded) EPS with surface facing skin - and heavy-duty 3mil poly film laminated to EACH side.

• The product is lightweight, and can ship via UPS or common carrier anywhere in the world. The Barrier is Flexible, no breaking, cracking, no broken pieces all over the job sites. Core component is an extruded (not block molded) EPS with surface facing skin and heavy duty 3 mil poly film laminated to Each side plus the center so NO Moisture will get thru. Weather-Resistant barrier performance for the exterior envelope. Heavy Duty 10 Mil top side also available!!
