Astro-Foil Tuff-Stuff

The premium moisture barrier for insulating under heated slabs. TUFF-STUFF's extremely high puncture resistance assures the installer that it will hold up under construction traffic. Consisting of two high-strength polyethylene bubble layers with coated foil on one side; TUFF-STUFF will hold up under 8" of concrete and commercial floor loads.

The coated foil side will not react to the components in wet concrete mixtures so TUFF-STUFF can be laid with the foil up or down. Standard roll size: 4' x 125' and 6' x 125'.

Note: Quantities can be modified after you "Add to Cart". The shopping cart will also give you a running total of the shipping charges.

TUFF STUFF IS A HIGH-STRENGTH Insulating Moisture Barrier for Use Below Heated Concrete Floors.

• Absolute Moisture Barrier
  Keeps heat-robbing ground moisture away from the concrete.
• Reduces Downward Heat Loss By Over 50%
  Exceeds the requirements of most HVAC load calculation programs.
• Super-Strong 338 PSI Puncture Resistance
  Will support over 6" of concrete plus floor loads indefinitely.
• Total of Over 16 mil Extruded Polyethylene Film
  Withstands rough handling by installers and finishers.
• Air-Encapsulating Vacuum Formed Bubbles
  Results in a structure that will not delaminate.
• Laminated With 99% Pure Polished Aluminum
  Adds a reflective benefit to the intrinsic R-value.
• PET Coating Strengthens and Protects Foil Against Chemical Erosion
  Tuff-Stuff can be laid with the foil side up or down, whichever is most convenient.
