Construction Applications

Construction projects come in every shape and size. You need performance-driven construction films to protect your jobsite, safeguard surfaces, create a containment barrier and control moisture and vapor. At Viaflex, we manufacture high-grade polymer film and sheeting products for construction applications that meet the most rigid specifications.

Whether you are an engineer, construction manager or project lead, our proven products ensure compliance with strict building codes while maximizing efficiency on-site.

Viaflex Underslab Vapor Barrier

Why Polymer Films Matter in Construction

  • Moisture control: Moisture intrusion can compromise building integrity, leading to mold growth, structural damage and increased maintenance costs. That is why you need a construction vapor barrier with exceptional moisture control and high puncture and tear resistance.
  • Surface protection: Polyethylene films serve as temporary barriers to protect building components. When applied to floors, windows, countertops and other surfaces, sheeting helps prevent damage from dirt, debris and scratches during construction.
  • Gas barrier: Polymer films can serve as an effective barrier for gas mitigation, creating a continuous and impermeable seal that prevents harmful subsurface gases, such as radon, methane and other vapor intrusions, from entering a building construction.
  • Weather containment: During construction, specialized sheeting provides a cost-effective and durable solution for protecting worksites from environmental damage. Films can be wrapped around scaffolding, equipment and temporary structures to protect them from rain, wind and temperature extremes.
  • Technical standards: Vapor retardation, waterproofing and protective sheeting are all regulated primarily by ASTM International in the U.S., which specifies performance-based criteria like thickness, permeance and puncture resistance.

Key Applications for Our High-Performance Construction Films

Enclosure Films

When you need a temporary or permanent enclosure to ensure jobsite protection, our films provide reinforced security in various indoor and outdoor applications.

Dura-Skrim®, manufactured by Viaflex, is the industry standard for reinforced enclosure films. Known for their strength, tear resistance and flexibility, these films extend the lifespan of construction barriers. Yet, the lightweight, durable design allows for quick and easy installation, keeping construction schedules on track and minimizing downtime.

Applications for our enclosure films include:

  • Building or construction covers
  • Temporary walls or partitions
  • Warehouse dividers
  • Dust or asbestos containment
  • Equipment covers
  • In-wall moisture barrier
  • Paint liners

Underslab Vapor Barrier

Viaflex underslab vapor barriers can be installed under a concrete slab to provide exceptional moisture protection, safeguarding structures from the ground up.

Products like VaporBlock® and VaporBlock Plus® do more than ensure compliance with modern building codes and environmental regulations. These performance-driven barriers offer superior puncture and tear resistance to withstand tough jobsite conditions without compromising quality.
