FAQs

YCS vapor barriers are constructed from high-quality materials, including 100% virgin polyethylene and polypropylene geo fabric, ensuring durability and effectiveness in moisture management.

The YCS Crawl Curtain efficiently seals foundation walls and piers, creating a robust moisture barrier that significantly reduces the risk of mold development in your crawlspace. It ensures long-term protection and contributes to a healthier home environment.

The YCS Geo Pro Vapor Barrier is highly effective in preventing mold by acting as a puncture-resistant layer that blocks ground moisture from penetrating the crawlspace. It is a crucial component in crawlspace encapsulation, ensuring reliable moisture control.

Reinforced vapor barriers, like those in the YCS line, offer superior strength and puncture resistance compared to non-reinforced options. They are designed for demanding applications, providing enhanced durability against tears and punctures.

Absolutely! YCS vapor barriers are specifically designed for use in crawl spaces, basements, and other areas where moisture control is essential.

The YCS hybrid vapor barrier has a 0.00 perm rating, indicating it is highly effective at preventing moisture vapor transmission, making it suitable for challenging installations.

Yes, vapor barriers can be used on vertical surfaces. In fact, many high-quality vapor barriers are specifically designed for this purpose, such as sealing foundation walls, piers, or crawlspace walls. When applied to vertical surfaces, vapor barriers help to:

  1. Prevent Moisture Intrusion: They block moisture from entering the interior space through walls.
  2. Improve Energy Efficiency: By reducing humidity, they help maintain consistent indoor temperatures.
  3. Enhance Indoor Air Quality: They minimize mold, mildew, and other moisture-related issues.

Tips for Installation on Vertical Surfaces:

  • Adhesion: Use a reliable adhesive designed for vapor barriers, like the YCS Magic Adhesive, to ensure strong adherence to various wall types (e.g., concrete, brick, or block).
  • Sealing: Overlap seams and use seam tape, such as YCS Magic Seam Tape, to maintain a complete seal.
  • Customization: Some vapor barriers, like the YCS Crawl Curtain, come with built-in features for easy installation on vertical surfaces, including activation strips or pre-cut sizing.

YCS stands behind the quality of its vapor barriers with a lifetime guarantee against delamination and off-gassing, ensuring long-lasting performance for all applications.
