While roofs play a significant role in a house that protects the interior of the home from all of the outside elements, it isn’t the only thing that keeps you safe. The very foundation of your home supports the roof and everything else around you. It bears the weight and keeps your home safe. When you don’t have a solid base underneath your home, it could end up causing some serious damage to your home down the line. It is a thing you need to get right during the construction phase of the property because once done; it is hard to fix.

Here are some of the applications of Insulapack’s Foundation Wrap:

- Use an adhesive or insert concrete fasteners through the foil-bubble wrap
- The adhesive should not fill gaps between the bubbles (drainage path)
- Bubbles go directly against the wall; foil goes to the outside
- Extra thick 6mm poly bubble skin prevents bubbles from popping due to pressure
- Proper drainage around footing needs to be in place to accept water as it drains
- Sealing the top will prevent soil from getting in but does not have to be watertight
