Effective
sealing of all building surfaces is of the utmost importance in any
new construction or retrofit project. A good seal will ensure less air
infiltration, drier insulation and building interior, and will ease
radon problems. Less infiltration equals a warmer, easier to heat structure.
We carry a specialty product that offer many advantages over the standard
6 mil polyethylene vapor barrier.
Air
and vapor barrier Tu Tuff is a impenetrable vapor barrier successfully
stopping air and moisture penetration in your new home or renovation.
TuTuff is used to wrap and envelope houses, commercial building, barns
, factories, store rooms and warehouses when you wish to avoid mold
and moisture penetration. Ceilings and walls up to the windows and doors
are enveloped. Foundations are wrapped around the outside perimeter
from the base to ground level and Tu Tuff vapor barrier is laid under
the concrete flooring to prevent moisture penetration and dampness rising
from the ground to the floor level . Tu Tuff is cross laminated and
has 3.6 times tensile strength and 6.4 times the puncture resistance
of standard 4 mil low density poly. It is pinhole free.

Typical
barriers do not compare to tough tutuff and there is no plastic chemical
odor or disintegration of plastic when it comes in contact with damp
soil . Mold will not grow on the tutuff . With this moisture and wind
control quality TuTuff prevents moisture and wind chill. The
home you build , the warehouse, barn, factory, work shop or storage
facility you construct in any any climate will be warmer, drier and
less energy will be wasted in heating in the winter and cooling in summer.
Moisture will be at a minimum. Sealing effectively and efficiently is
important to your construction of home or commercial building . New
construction, remediated building, remodeled retrofit projects all require
vapor and moisture control and barriers . Efficiently sealing your property
guarantees less air infiltration, a drier insulation and a dry building
interior. Tutuff will alleviate radon gas problems. Less infiltration
or damp moisture equals a warmer, easier to heat or cool structure and
avoidance of mold and mildew in your insulation.

TU
TUFF VAPOR BARRIER is much improved compared to standard 6 mil polyethelyne
or 4 mil barrier. Improving the building envelope is a great advantage.
Constructions can be "enveloped. The entire structure is enclosed by
a vapor barrier. From under the basement or ground floor concrete slab,
up the walls, across the attic and down again, the vapor barrier provides
an airtight envelope.
To control moisture migration on a slab put down crushed rock bed of
at least 4" (for drainage - you may need to gravity drain this with
perforated drain tile), then the tutuff moisture barrier, (sand is not
a moisture barrier). On top of this put a 2" layer of clean sand and
pour the slab on that. The sand protects the moisture barrier and allows
the slab to cure evenly. All your construction needs to be are, quite
"enveloped." and enclosed by a vapor barrier. All seams are sealed with
3M vapor barrier tape, the barrier is taped and caulked around windows
and doors, and plastic airtight boxes enclose all electrical outlets.
Tu-Tuff stays stapled. Tu-Tuff is designed to minimize the problems
of moisture penetration and dampness. Tu-Tuff is handy, above & below
ground.
Interior Walls - Tu-Tuff is generally to be placed over the warmer,
more moist side of your insulation material (usually between interior
insulation & interior walls).
Foundations & Slabs - Wrap Tu-Tuff around your outside perimeter from
base to ground level.
Pinhole
Resistant- Tu-Tuff is actually pin hole free, an impossibility with
typical vb's Tensile Strength - 8507 psi, 34 lbs. per inch (Tu-Tuff
tensile strength is 3.6 x's greater than other vapor barriers)
Puncture Resistance - 275.8 beach units; 6.4x's more puncture resistant
than industry standard (4-mil poly)
Damp air can compromise the effectiveness of your insulation. Insulation
offers comfort & savings in heating and cooling. A
vapor barrier will help maintain insulation performance over the long-term.
Tu-Tuff
is a cross-laminated virgin poly-sheeting, made from high density resins.
That means it's strong, durable, & condensation unfriendly! Tu-Tuf 4mm
is white or black with a smooth texture.
Tu
Tuff stops moisture and wind chill, making your structure warmer, drier,
and easier to heat with less energy. to ground level. Place Tu-Tuff
under concrete flooring.
