I am looking for something to use as a vapor barrier in a dirt basement crawlspace. Does anyone know if this is the correct material?

I'm not an expert on vapor barriers, but this product is just as good (if not better) than the plastic used in the crawl space of my home (used by the builder). This plastic is of good quality, I used it regularly to place rock on for my landscaping.

Yes, this will work fine might be a bit heavy,but for a dirt basement may be a better choice .

This is the wrong material for hardwiring. I have it plugged into a timer and use it as entry lights to my house.

I would think so. I used this product on the ductwork in my basement; first sealing the joints with aluminum tape, then the spiral wrap held in place with the same tape. (In some runs it was tricky to get the material in place, but that may just be my situation). I also purchased a 6" wide wrap for the elbows. It has made a difference in the amount of cooling/heat that escapes from my ducts.

I think this material is used more as a bass trap and diffuser than sound proofing. It probably doesn't work any better than regular insulation for that job. There are sound blocking materials out there that work very well.

I can't remember exactly, but if you check the product web site, it will tell you. I remember putting a space heater in my crawl space to get the block temperature up. The stuff is really nice though. It went on real fast and sealed things up nice.

Certainly in a basement, not certain about the crawl space but probably...we turned our unit to the higher speed and it is 90% humidity where we are in the am and 34% when we return in the late afternoon. We are temporarily in a tiny apt but will run it full time in our house later.

Check with the Manufacturer to see if your laminate flooring requires a vapor barrier above grade. If you don't and run into problems in a few years the warranty will be Void...! It should be clearly listed on the sheets in the boxes. Is there a chance of moisture upstairs? Leaks? Kids? Is noise a factor? Make sure your flooring sits in the room for 48 hours minimum... Before Install. I have never installed a floor without some sort of Vapor barrier. Good Luck! I hope this helps!

This foam is the "closed-cell" type. Based on my research, closed-cell is preferred over open-cell for below-grade insulation or on floor-joists in a basement or crawlspace because it is much denser than open-cell and is a very good air barrier as well as a water vapor barrier.

I checked the manufacturer's web site for specifications. They claim that it can be used as a primer for other paints, so I painted over the Hydro Seal 75 that I had applied with a vapor-barrier type paint. The combination seems to work really well. I'm not ready to sell my basement dehumidifier yet, but it hasn't been used since I painted the walls about seven months ago.

I can't imagine why it would be optimal for that. RadiantGUARD foil is meant to reflect heat away & does result in lower heat transfer to the living area below attic crawl space. But if you want to e.g. insulate tubes from heat, there must be better insulation choices.

1/4-inch bubble pack with metalized Mylar film on both sides. Would be good as or with a vapor barrier. I used short pieces between the joists right under the eaves to maintain air flow from the eaves vents into the attic.

Great question. I just posted basically the same question you asked, since I see no one has answered you. Hopefully someone will be able to tell us what material is used to make this microwave cover.

it should work fine for holding up the insulation in your crawlspace I recommend keeping it nice n tight

I am using in hobby greenhouse with high humidity. Don't see why vent a crawl space would be a problem

I've been using mine in a 2400 sf crawlspace in NC and been keeping the humidity at 62 pc. So far so good!My unit has the built-pump with the hose running outside thru the foundation wall.

I would say yes. It has worked well for me appling liquid wood hardener, which is high in voc's, in my basement.

Don't think this is the product your needing. This won't protect from cracking more. It will protect some moisture getting in;since its wax based.
