| « Crawl Space Soil Gas | NT-FR 2000, NT-1600, NT-1200 vs. DrySpace™ Vapor Barrier » |
For the last 2 or 3 years I have notice more and more plastic hit the market as a "cheap" crawl space vapor barrier. If the homeowner wants a cheap plastic in the crawl space that's fine, it's their home. What bothers me is the companies that are selling the cheap plastic offer it as quality and sell it for a premium. There isn't much I can do about it except complain AND do my best to make sure people know about the DrySpace vapor barrier. So.....
To insure there is no confusion on what you are buying we have changed the look of the DrySpace vapor barrier. Now all you have to do is look at the back of the barrier and you will know you have a quality crawl space vapor barrier made by an American company that will last a life time without falling apart. We changed the look of the DrySpace vapor barrier, the back is now SILVER and is known as the SilverBack DrySpace. We made a few other changes to make it easier for you to identify our products by looking at them. The width is now 13' 4" wide instead of 12'. This helps meet the needs of crawl spaces that have supports 12-13' from the foundation wall, which is most crawl spaces. By making our product wider it leaves the installer more options on how to best install the DrySpace with the fewest seams which strengthens the integrity of the installation.
The second change we made was to offer different three sizes; 13'4" x 100", 13'4" x 60" and 6'7.5" x 100". This also allows the installer to make the best choices for an install with the fewest seams, allowing less waste and limiting over bought material.
The third change we make was to the reinforcement. It is still as strong but now it has a new pattern to help identify the DrySpace vapor barrier from the rest of the pack.
All of these changes were made to help protect the customer, contractor and the DrySpace brand. Our vapor barrier products are made in the USA and we try very hard to source all of our products in the USA when possible. Products made in the USA are more expensive but are better made and have consistent quality. You will never have a problem with our products like the construction industry is having with the "Chinese drywall".
That link is worth looking at!
In short, CrawlSpace Concepts is an honest company offering a quality product line that we are proud of
. We are an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau with no complaints, ever and a member of 7 different Chamber of Commerce! It is very important to us to keep this reputation and we will continue to be leaders in the market.
