Specifying Concrete Underslab Vapor Retarders
For construction projects incorporating concrete slabs on-grade, one of the most critical building components affecting the long-term integrity of interior flooring materials is oftentimes left to chance, and in many instances not specified at all. While many architects, specifiers and flooring contractors understand the importance of concrete underslab vapor retarders, not all building professionals understand the different performance characteristics of underslab products.
