  • Resistant to Hot/Cold Temperatures
  • Resistant to Soil Chemicals & Pollutants

Stego Wrap 15-mil VAPOR BARRIER is an economical new generation geo-membrane, resulting from trade secret break throughs in multi-extrusion methods, new resins and additive technology.

A combination of prime virgin resins and additives allows molecules to internally "inter-lock" to give Stego Wrap 15-mil strength, durability and unprecedented resistance to moisture and Radon Gas in a relatively light gauge polyolefin film.

Older generation products use scrim, laminations and /or fiber backing for strength and puncture resistance. However the thin and weak plastic vapor retarder component (between the scrim) is easily punctured.

Stego Wrap 15-mil is truly a dependable "VAPOR BARRIER" that can be used in contact with and directly below the slab.

A Superior Defense for Slabs and Flooring:
Infiltration of moisture and/or gas through concrete slabs is a major building defect liability. Stego Wrap 15-mil VAPOR BARRIER has an almost zero Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) and prevents moisture, water vapor, soil gases and alkaline salts from entering your building envelope. Stego Wrap is the best insurance value against these costly failures.

A Tough, Strong, Durable Barrier:
Stego Wrap 15-mil VAPOR BARRIER will withstand the abuse of difficult jobsite conditions and construction traffic. It will not easily tear, crack, split, snag or puncture. In fact, Stego Wrap is tough enough for installation directly below the concrete slab eliminating the need for sand or fill below the slab.

An Easy, Reliable Installation:
Stego Wrap 15-mil VAPOR BARRIER rolls out easily, fast and smooth over level and tamped soil or compacted fill. Stego Wrap installations offer a minimum of field seams. Unlike flimsy thin gauge and laminated films, Stego Wrap has staying power. Rest easy and confident with a reliable and dependable Stego Wrap VAPOR BARRIER installation!
