PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION:
Poly Barrier is a double layer of polyethylene bubbles bonded
to a layer of 99% pure aluminum foil on one side,
and a layer of white-polyethylene on the other side.
Both Ultra
and Standard grade products are approved vapor barriers.
The Ultra grade offers a superior product thickness of 10
mil (versus 7 mil).
Both Poly
Barriers improve slab heat loss efficiency by 50%, directing
heat up toward the living space.
Seal the seams with TVM White Poly Tape to form a consistent
insulator and vapor barrier.
INSTALLATION
METHOD:
1) Unroll Ultra or Standard Poly Barrier White Poly side up.
2) Butt the seams.
3) Seal the seams with TVM White Poly Tape (3” wide).
4) Install Radiant Heating and pour the concrete as usual.
BUILDERS NOTE: Adding 1” of sand
over Poly Barrier will facilitate water drainage, shortening
actual curing time.
