ARMA FOIL-VB is a non-perforated foil that works as a radiant barrier, a vapor barrier and a radon barrier in one product. It has a water vapor permeability of 0.0058 perms. It is made with a proprietary process that produces a lighter weight material that is extremely tear resistant.
The 4 mil foil has an anti-oxidation coating and is bonded, not laminated. It meets current fire standards (ASTM E84 / ASTM E2599) and corrosivity testing (ASTM D3310). It is used as a vapor barrier or radon barrier, on the interior side of insulation in some climates only, and in floors and crawl spaces.
This 51 in x 235 ft roll covers about 1,000 sq ft. Add extra for overlapping seams. It installs with a staple gun and foil tape. Seal all overlaps, penetrations and staple tears with aluminum foil tape.
