Manual

The Barrier product family is a high-performance EPS foam
underslab insulator and vapor retarder, designed to insulate and retard
moisture migration through concrete. The core of the product is made
of flexible, recycled extruded expanded polystyrene that provides the
excellent insulation characteristics. This unique core has vapor
retarding film laminated to both sides as well as a patented self-taping
edge and overlapping flange to make the entire installation seam-free.
High-performance insulation values, cost-saving installation, and
unequaled flexibility makes The Barrier / BarrierXT & BarrierX5
the most effective underslab insulators and vapor retarders in today’s
market!
BarrierX5 with a 1.25” thick core in flexible 4’x60’
rolls.

Like a foam cup protects your hand from the hot beverage it holds,
The Barrier product family protects concrete from heat loss and
moisture, especially when used in a radiant heat floor application. The
Barrier under concrete insulation is a thermal block which insulates
the concrete from the cold and dampness of the ground. The entire
product line-up is strong, durable, and will not collapse under the
weight of the concrete. Installation is far easier because you can walk
on all of them without breaking —plus, the patented seam taping
system makes installation fast and efficient.
The Barrier underslab insulation and vapor retarder protects your
flooring and other moisture sensitive furnishings in your building’s
interior from moisture migration while also providing dual use as an
effective insulator.
