About This Product

For extra protection against moisture the MemBrain Continuous Air Barrier and Smart Vapor Retarder is your weapon of choice. It lets wall cavities dry out to help prevent mold. In summer when humidity is high it increases permeability so that moisture can escape as air tightness is maintained. In winter when humidity is low it continues to block moisture. Use MemBrain with un-faced insulation in place of kraft faced insulation or polyethylene. Not all climate zones require vapor retarders.

Highlights

  • Premium vapor barrier
  • Developed for use as a durable vapor retarder
  • Can be used in attics and Walls
  • Air barrier and smart vapor retarder
  • Clear color
  • Stops air leaks
  • Easy to use
  • When humidity levels in wall increase, mem brain becomes porous to let excess moisture escape

    Can I use this in a basement that has a wall wrap already installed. The wall wrap has tiny holes in it so air doesnt get trapped.

    Answer This Question

    No, a second barrier is not recommended. The holes in your existing barrier are to allow moisture to escape and prevent mold and wood rot. Mike

    Answer This Question

    I went looking for the same answer and had to go to the manufacturer's website and found that they recommend "Repair any cuts or tears with 2 in cellophane tape like Scotch 610." Here's the link: https://www.certainteed.com/resources/30-28-157.pdf

      I am very pleased with the Certainteed smart vapor membrain. The instructions for installation were clear and it was relatively easy to install. I was afraid it would be easy to tear but I did not have any tears during install of a 100’ roll. I hopeful this product will stand the test of time and serve me well as it is a bit pricey. This seems like a better option than a traditional straight poly barrier.

      Kinda hard to rate effectiveness being it is now behind drywall. It was easy to install and use. Fingerscrossed it does whatbis implied.

      Time will tell, I won't have the interior shiplap boards up for a while so, hopefully, I'll be able to see if moisture is present in the wall. Caulking the edges is onerous.

      Though I won't know the effectiveness for years to come, I trust the product specs. It was very easy to work with and I used a hammer tacker stapler to put it on.
