At Midland we carry a variety of vapour barrier options, perfect for your crawl space. Protect your crawl space from moisture damage and subsequent mold by installing vapour barrier. Generally this is accomplished by installing a layer of vapour barrier across the floor and part of the wall of a crawl space. This blocks the moisture from the ground that can accumulate. We carry 6mm, 10mm, 15mm and 20mm thickness barrier rolls, designed to withstand the toughest conditions and prevent moisture penetration. All of our vapour barrier is manufactured in the United States and Canada, are protected against premature degradation and resistant to UV light. Find peace of mind by adding year round moisture protection to your crawl space with our vapour barrier.
Built to Last and Protect Your Crawl Space
Our Canadian made 6mil and 10mil vapour barrier, is a CGSB certified special purpose construction film to be used as a long lasting vapour barrier. It is designed to exceed the criteria specified in C.G.S.B. Standard CAN/CGSB-51 34-M86 & is used to protect any crawl space area.
Our 15mil and 20mil vapour barrier, is manufactured in the United States from Virgin polyethylene resin & comes with UV additives that prevent against premature degradation & ensure resistance to UV light.
