!: Benefits of Crawl Space Liners-What to Look For

When looking for a crawl space liner, these are the minimum requirements you should look for ...

* 60 mil thickness
* Zero Perm (this prevents any gases from penetrating your liner)
* R-value of 4 + (for insulation)
* Class A Fire rating
* 25 Year Warranty
* 99% pure aluminum foil backing (this will reflect up to 97% of the heat-which is considered GREEN or energy efficient and qualifies for the Residential Energy Efficiency Tax Credit)

Using the optional double seam seal on all seams ensures there's no chance of leaking water, moisture, Radon Gas or musty odors.You should check the specs to make sure your liner is 99% pure aluminum foil backing on one side which reflects up to 97% of the heat back into the crawl space, creating a more temperaturecontrolled and humidity free environment, improving the Indoor air quality and reducing energy costs.

The aluminum foil backing also prevents Dust Mites, termites, spiders, rodents and other unwanted pests from eating there way through. With a ZERO PERM rating (highest rating), no water, moisture, Radon Gas or musty odors can penetrate through the liner, making it 100% water, moisture and Radon Gas proof as well as preventing the promotion of future mold growth.

As you may already know, the number 1 source for entry of Radon Gas & Mold into a home is through a crawl space. A liner system with the above properties will reduce the chance of Radon Gas from entering your home and prevent any further crawl space mold and moisture problems, improving the Indoor air quality throughout your home and creates a clean, dry, sanitary, usable storage area. Investing in a crawl space liner system, which is cost effective and easy to install, will increase the value and improve the Indoor air quality of your home from the time you finish. Creating a healthier living environment is always worth the investment! There are now even system available D.I.Y. (do it yourself) that have all the same benefits of a professionally installed system at a fraction of the cost.
