VAPOR BARRIERS
Insulation alone does not provide the protection that cold mechanical pipe systems need to offer maximum value to the system. That is where vapor barriers come into play.
Vapor barriers are designed to prevent water absorption and retard the passage of moisture vapor from the atmosphere to the insulated surface. They preserve the physical and thermal integrity of the insulation.
Shur-Fit is able to factory-apply the vapor barrier directly onto your Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) or TRYMER® pipes and fittings, and have them shipped directly to the job site. This will lower installation costs, will save days off the installation process and ensure a fast and easy installation. We can also provide the vapor barrier itself.
We offer the following types of vapor barriers:
