Hampshire, IL – W. R. MEADOWS, a green building leader in the construction industry for more than 85 years, offers PERMINATOR underslab vapor barrier to reduce the penetration of moisture and water vapor through the slab of a structure. Exhibiting dramatically great puncture resistance and a low perm rating, PERMINATOR is a polyolefin-based resin/chemical technology that is tough enough to withstand normal construction jobsite conditions and traffic. It will not crack, puncture, snag, split, or tear easily. PERMINATOR also helps to reduce fungus, mildew, mold growth, and radon gas from entering the structure. “Our Perminator has one of the lowest perm ratings in the market, but even more importantly, it has an extremely high resistance to puncture,” said Matthew Price, President of W. R. MEADOWS. “Even the smallest puncture can damage the integrity of a vapor barrier, but with our increased puncture resistance technology, you can dramatically lower the odds of such damage happening on the job site after installation." PERMINATOR is primarily designed for underslab construction, where the soil has been tamped and leveled or compacted fill has been applied. PERMINATOR can also be used as a protection course for waterproofing membranes. PERMINATOR is a key component in the green building industry, contributing to LEED credits such as Energy and Atmosphere and Indoor Environmental Quality.
