Vapor Barrier and Tape
StegoHome Vapor barrier (12′ x 50′, 15-mil)
High-Performance Vapor Protection
StegoHome 15-Mil Vapor Barrier is made from a proprietary blend of prime virgin polyolefin resins and additives, a combination lending to great value and effectiveness in protecting the concrete slab from moisture intrusion.
Design professionals and commercial contractors have come to rely on Stego products for our nation’s most critical project types, such as hospitals and schools. That same track record for success is now available for your most critical project too – your home. Stego extends its first-of-its-kind Life of the Building Warranty to ensure you get the same quality and piece of mind at home that you deserve.
Infiltration of moisture from the ground through concrete slabs is a major home defect liability. StegoHome 15-Mil Vapor Barrier is designed not only for effectiveness, but also for longevity. This vapor barrier is manufactured with only the highest grade of prime, virgin, polyolefin resins which allows this product to greatly resist degradation. This product is also engineered for superior strength and durability, never flakes and is resistant to tears, snags, punctures, and cracks.
StegoHome 15-Mil Vapor Barrier has an extremely low permeance rating, which helps mitigate the risk of water vapor accumulation and the transmission of various soil gases. This helps to maintain the integrity of the building envelope and promotes better indoor air quality by avoiding serious moisture-related issues.
