Barrier- Bac Premieres in Residential Project with Chandler Properties

After years in the commercial construction industry, XF Films has partnered with Chandler Properties to use Barrier-Bac, an anti-vapor barrier, in the Chandler Reserve Club, a gated residential project development in Florence, SC. This is the first time Barrier-Bac has been used in residential construction.

General Manager of XF Films Frank Chen said Barrier-Bac’s debut in residential construction is a win for the Inteplast Group business unit.

“The project owner agreed that this would greatly benefit the rental houses in the long run. This is the first time that our commercial grade Barrier-Bac was used on residential houses. The success of this project has opened the door for us to the residential building market, and we are excited about future possibilities,” said Chen.

The topography of Florence’s flat terrain puts it at risk for flooding and higher occurrences for hurricanes, according to the city’s official website. In addition, Barrier-Bac is another layer of insulation and supports lower energy costs for residents. While single-family homes often use low-grade poly film with a 0.1 water vapor permeance rate, Barrier-Bac – has a 0.02 water permeance rate, rendering it compliant and superior to alternatives. Along with its advanced water vapor blockage, Barrier-Bac ensures longer structural integrity for homes.
