Moisture Barriers and Mold Prevention Oshkosh WI

Cosella-Dörken.

Delta-Dry is a channeled polyethylene sheeting that protects against excess moisture. Installed with nails or staples, sheets interlock during installation to create a barrier against wind-driven moisture. Protruding “studs” create a small, continuous air space on both sides of the barrier, allowing for drying and drainage. Water vapor that diffuses out of building materials into this space either dissipates or condenses and drains off the material. Available in 39-inch-by-50-foot rolls. 888.433.5824. www.delta-dry.com.
