PRODUCT PROFILE:
CleanSpace, the crawl space encapsulation system reduces moisture and lowers humidity, making the indoor environment healthier and more efficient. Sealed crawl spaces consistently outperform wall vented crawl spaces. Some charateristics of CleanSpace include: a complete and permanent moisture management solution, an anti-microbial liner, humidity and moisture reduction, the elimination of odors, a Class “A” fire-rating, savings on energy bills, durability that reclaims storage space, uv inhibitors and stabilizers, and the best sump system on the planet.
Traditional dirt crawl spaces have many problems. They are breeding grounds for insects and animals, such as, spiders, beetles, centipedes, termites, mice, rats and snakes. They have a high humidity level and have condensation providing a water source for critters. Dirt crawl spaces are an environment where mold spores thrive. Mold can grow on dirt, insulation, framing and even carpet. Some varieties of mold are toxic. Dirt crawl spaces are also vented to outside air. In the Summer, this lets warm humid air in, adding moisture to the crawl space and making it harder for air-conditioners to get the moisture out of the air. In the Winter, this lets cold air in, driving up heating costs. With a dirt crawl space there is also the possible threat of radon gas exposure from the ground. CleanSpace reduces exposure to this gas.
The solution is the Clean Space crawl space encapsulation system. The CleanSpace liner isolates the home from the dirt crawl space completely and permanently. The liner is similar in thickeness to a pool liner and is made of high-density polyethylene. The white color brightens the crawlspace so that you can easily see that it is free from insects, mold and dirt. The top edge of the CleanSpace liner is sealed to the walls with a polyurethane sealant and 4″ wide sealing tape.
