The construction sector is a fundamental backbone of the nation, employing over 7 million people across nearly 1 million different U.S. companies. Although construction revenues have been increasing in previous years, net profits in the industry are slim. It has been reported that profits for
most construction companies are quite low, creating increased pressure on the bottom line. As a result, many companies are constantly looking for better products that can save them money and provide better solutions.
Whether dealing with new construction or renovations of existing structures, one of the most common problems for construction companies is protecting their building from excess moisture.
A moisture barrier is designed to prevent moisture damage to building materials since moisture provides the ideal environment for mold, mildew, pests, water and structural damage. Moisture can penetrate walls through air gaps, cracks, electrical outlets and fixtures.
While you might think that moisture barriers are only needed in areas with hot, humid climates, even homes in cooler climates can benefit from
them.
The advantages of moisture barrier tape:
✔️ Ease of use: Should be easy to apply and not require any special tools or equipment. Simply tear the tape to the desired length, apply it, and press it onto the surface.
✔️ Strong and durable: Designed to be strong and durable, even in harsh outdoor conditions.
It provides long-term adhesion, durability, and resistance to air, moisture, and UV rays to protect the building envelope.
✔️ Flexible: Allows workers to seal quickly around any penetrations or tight corners.
✔️ Provides energy savings: Effective way to minimize heat transference and energy loss, which reduces energy costs. Used correctly, it can minimize heat
loss through walls, ceilings, and floors.
✔️ Cost-effective: Generally less expensive than other sealing methods, such as caulk and staples. It also requires less time and labor to install, making it a cost-effective solution.
