Summer is right around the corner, which means it’s time for the beach, cookouts and family vacations. But, if you’re in the construction field, summer means something entirely different: mold.
As any construction job-site worker can tell you, in the humid summer months, moisture can cause mold to grow and wreak havoc on everything from lumber to tools and flooring. Glass, fiber insulation, lumber, carpet and virtually any piece of construction equipment can grow mold if the conditions are right.
Strong Man has your solution. Our Raven VaporBlock® Plus™ is a seven-layer barrier made from state-of-the-art polyethylene and barrier resins. It provides unmatched impact strength as well as superior resistance to moisture and gas transmission. VaporBlock® works to protect your flooring and other vulnerable furnishings from moisture and water-vapor migration, greatly reducing condensation, mold and and degradation.
Moisture isn’t the only thing our VaporBlock® technology protects against. The underslab/vertical design of the barrier restricts naturally occurring gasses and is more than 50 times less permeable than typical vapor retarders against methane radon and other harmful VOC’s. VaporBlock® can be installed as part of a passive, or active, control system extending across an entire building, including floors, walls and crawl spaces. For passive systems, we recommend including a ventilated system with pumps that can be converted to an active control system with properly designed ventilation fans.
Moisture and natural gasses are powerful forces of nature. Protect your construction site from harmful moisture and gasses with VaporBlock® and enjoy a worry-free summer. Stay strong, friends!
