Vapour Barriers Market Forecast and Segments, 2017-2027
Verfasser: pradnya_86 on Tuesday, 9 May 2017Vapour barriers are materials used to reduce the diffusion of water vapour, and are used mainly in construction projects.The concrete is porous in nature and hence a concrete slab without a vapour barrier can get damaged because of the vapours entering through diffusion. A vapour barrier is typically a plastic sheeting, which is installed on the inside wall of the structure between the moist (inside wall) wall and the drywall (dry wall). Vapour barrier prevents the trapped water vapour from the interior of the house to leak through the wall and condense on the warmer side of the wall. This moisture can blister paint, loosen plaster, decrease the effectiveness of insulation and can also lead to structural damage. In addition, it will also degrade indoor air quality,encourage the growth of mould and fungus, which can also create health issues. Proper installation of vapour barriers can reduce the rate of air leakage through the walls. It also prevents hazardous gas intrusion inside new construction or existing constructions, such as Brownfield site. Vapour barriers are also installed beneath concrete slabin the basement to give protection against ground gases (such as radon) and water vapour from vapour diffusion through the concrete. Apart from this, in some cases it also prevents heat from entering inside and hence makes the place cooler.
