What Type of Vapor Barrier is Right for You?

Each crawl space requires a unique solution based on the situation a homeowner is in. How do you know which solution is right for you? When choosing a vapor barrier, the amount of time a person plans to stay in his or her home can have a big impact. A 6-mil vapor barrier might be best if someone is planning on staying in his or her home for less than 2 years. This allows the crawl space to be secured and protected, while also not requiring a big financial investment. The 6-mil provides sufficient protection and the fiber-reinforced variant is tear resistant.
