Viper Woven 16 Mil Vapor Barrier (Class A) 1,200 SQ FT | Woven

How Important Are Vapor Barriers?

A vapor barrier is crucial to protecting your home from mold, musty odors, and water damage. Vapor barriers, such as the Viper Woven 16 Mil Vapor Barrier, prevent interstitial condensation and water vapors from damaging your home. With 12’ x 100’ (1,200 FT2) dimensions, our product can cover your next project.

Lastly, our products provide a cost-effective, long-term solution to water damage. The Viper Woven 16 Mil is typically made of plastic or foil sheet, and you can easily place our product on your walls or ceilings.

About The Viper Woven 16 Mil Vapor Barrier

What makes a good vapor barrier? First, the Viper Woven 16 Mil has a low 0.0015 PERM rate. The PERM rate dictates the permeance or "water vapor transmission" a product has. The higher the rating, the more water a product allows to pass through. Our product has the perfect rating for protecting your home. Our product allows stops water vapor while properly diffusing it. Proper diffusion allows your walls and ceilings to naturally dry out. This natural dry prevents condensation, mold, and mildew from building up within your home.

Additionally, our Viper Woven 16 Mil is lightweight. A lighter weight means easier installation and maintenance. Additionally, our product is made with a white, triple-ply, extrusion coated, and virgin polyethylene membrane. The high-density fibers yield the highest strength-to-weight ratio. This strength makes our vapor barriers more puncture-resistant than our competitors.

Is your crawl space or basement mostly ground? No problems! The Viper Woven 16 mil is made for extended contact with soil. As an under-slab vapor retarder, our product is perfect for contact with soil or granular fill. This means our product can easily prevent moisture transmission from the ground to the air.

Where does the vapor barrier go?

Vapor barriers work best on floors and walls where water is most likely to gather. Furthermore, our product can be placed around poles, columns, and pipes.

During the vapor barrier installation, you'll want to place our product on the side of the wall that experiences hotter temperatures and more moist conditions. A sealant is best for keeping the barrier in place.

The Viper Woven 16 Mil Vapor Barrier offers exceptional protection against water, water vapor, and gas transfer and has a high soil tolerance and high durability. Lastly, our barrier is available in sections measuring 12’ x 100’ (1,200 FT²).
