Basement Wall Vapor Barrier   Shields the living space from water vapor transmission.

Low permeability vapor barrier in conjunction with the sealed Grate Drain system protects the basement against moisture. Moisture can cause poor air quality, mold, mildew, fungus, odors, and damage to moisture sensitive equipment.
