|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Blanket | The blanket form of a vapor barriers are materials that are sold in a roll or batt. An example is fiberglass insulation with a foil face. | ||
| Coating | Coating form vapor barriers are materials that are sold in a liquid form and are applied after cures to create a vapor barrier. The barrier can be a paint, spray, or foam that comes in various materials. | ||
| Membrane/Sheeting | The membrane/sheeting form of vapor barriers are solid, flexible materials that are designed for building wraps or foundations and other applications. | ||
| Rigid Board | Rigid board form vapor barriers are materials that are sold as a rigid board. An example is foam boards that are used for concrete/masonry applications. | ||
| Other | The vapor barrier form is other/specialty. | ||

Material

|
|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Aluminum | Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light trivalent, metallic element with good electrical and thermal conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation. | ||
| Asphalt Emulsion | Asphalt emulsions contain up to 70% asphalt and typically less than 1.5% chemical additives. | ||
| Polyethylene | Polyethylene is a semi-crystalline (typically around 50%), whitish, semi-opaque commodity thermoplastic that is soft, flexible and tough - even at low temperatures - with outstanding electrical properties but poor temperature resistance. It also has very good chemical resistance, but is prone to environmental stress cracking; it has poor UV resistance (unless modified) and poor barrier properties, except to water. | ||
| Polypropylene | Polypropylene is a thermoplastic material exhibiting excellent cold flow, bi-axial strength, and yield elongation properties. It is similar to PVC, but can be used in exposed applications because of its resistance to UV, weathering, and ozone. | ||
| Rubber | Rubber is an elastomer that can be mixed with other materials to create a synthetic rubber. | ||
| Other | Material is specialty/other type. | ||

|
| ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Attics | An attic is a space found directly below the pitched roof of a house or building. | ||
| Brick and Pavers | A brick is a block of ceramic material that can be used in many applications. Pavers are pre-cast pieces of concrete or brick used in landscaping applications. | ||
| Building Wrap | A building wrap is made from different types of material and are designed to surround an entire buildings exterior. | ||
| Concrete | Concrete is a material used in construction that is composed of cement and other aggregates to strengthen the concrete. | ||
| Crawl Spaces | A crawl space is a type of basement that allows access to plumbing, electrical, and ventilation with a height much less than an average basement. | ||
| Ducting | Ducts are used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) to deliver and remove air from areas. | ||
| Floors | Floors are walking surfaces that are constructed of many different types of materials. | ||
| Foundations | Foundations are usually concrete forms that are used to anchor/support a structure to/from the ground. | ||
| Piping | Piping refers to a system of pipes that are used to move fluids from one location to another. | ||
| Stone (Granite) | Granite is a type of stone/rock that is used in applications such as countertops. | ||
| Tile & Grout | Tile is a ceramic that is used in flooring. Grout is used to fill voids and seal joints between tiles. | ||
| Walls | Walls are solid structures that are used to support roofs and ceilings. | ||
| Windows | Windows are transparent openings that allow the passage of light into rooms. | ||
