DIAMONDBACK™ VAPOR BARRIER IS MADE FOR THE CRAWL SPACE

The DiamondBack™ crawl space vapor barrier is the ideal choice for homes with low to moderate crawl space traffic. Some light storage is okay as long as the items are not dragged over the surface of the DiamondBack™. Because this vapor barrier comes in a 12 Mil (.012″) it will not bunch up when crawled on and will not tear easily. The bright white top layer will match perfectly with the Waterproof Seam Tape™ and together they will brighten and spread light throughout the crawl space. The performance of the DiamondBack™ as a barrier is excellent, rated well above the 0.1 perm rating as a minimum requirement.
