Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to replace my moisture barrier?

Frequently Asked Questions - A Cut Above Exteriors
Replacement of your moisture barrier is required . During the tear-off process your old barrier usually gets torn and oftentimes your old barrier was not installed correctly. We can not warranty your job without replacing your moisture barrier. A new moisture barrier is critical to a good siding job.

Why is a moisture barrier applied on concrete?

Sunway Hardwood Floor
A vast amount of water can be trapped by concrete floors below ground. Since the soil adjacent to the concrete can bring humidity to the floor, it is important to avoid direct contact between the laminate flooring and the concrete floor.

What happens to the moisture barrier at the seams?

GORE™ Seating Protection: Frequently Asked Questions
Moisture barrier performance cannot be guaranteed where there are seams, much like in vinyl products today. Recommend appropriate seating designs which minimize seams where continuous moisture barrier performance is critical to the customer.

What about moisture level?

G. L. Pease - Frequently Asked Questions
This is a matter of personal taste and preference. I tend to like my tobaccos a little on the dry side, with about 11-12% moisture content, but others like their tobaccos much wetter. Tobacco is packaged in order to assure optimal keeping and aging qualities. The moisture content in the tin can be anywhere from 12-18% for natural tobaccos, and as high as 28-40% for some very heavily cased aromatics. This may not be optimal for smoking.

What is a Radiant Barrier?

Reflectix Inc. | Company Profile | Frequently Asked Question...
Radiant Barrier is a material that is a poor re-transmitter of infrared waves (radiant energy). By definition, this re-transmission characteristic (emissivity) must be at or below 10%. The emissivity of Reflectix? products is approximately 3%. Therefore, when a Radiant Barrier is installed in a residential attic, it "blocks" 90% + of the radiant energy that is being radiated by the hot roofing materials.

How can I be sure that the Sound Barrier System will actually reduce noise levels?

Sound Barrier Systems
All Sound Barrier windows and doors have been acoustically tested in N.A.T.A. accredited laboratories. There is simply no guesswork involved. Sound Barrier Windows have been proven to reduce noise levels by 75%.

How much time does an Interior Refinement™ actually take?

Interior Refiners Network® (IRN) Frequently Asked Questi...

What is moisture?

Denver Instrument - Moisture Analyzers - Moisture Analysis F...
Moisture includes water, organics, flavorings and other substances that are released by heat when following the standard method for moisture analysis.

What are the mu ratio and the mu-1 barrier?

CarterCopter FAQ on CarterAviationTechnologies.com
Mu is the English spelling of the Greek letter μ. It can be pronounced "mew" or "moo," with "mew" being the more common. It is commonly used to represent a ratio in rotorcraft engineering, sometimes called the rotor tip advance ratio. To put it about as simply as it can be put into words, the μ ratio is the ratio of the forward speed of the aircraft to the rotor tip speed relative to the aircraft.

How much will I save on my electric bill with a Radiant Barrier?

Reflectix Inc. | Company Profile | Frequently Asked Question...
Savings of up to 15% off your air conditioning usage are typical. This can be a larger number if you have ducts mounted in your attic space.

Is ventilation required for a Radiant Barrier?

Reflectix Inc. | Company Profile | Frequently Asked Question...
Ventilation is not required, but it is extremely helpful when addressing convective heat transfer. If an attic system has a mass insulation, (such as fiberglass), a Radiant Barrier and a ridge vent, it has addressed all three types of heat flow; conductive, convective and radiant.

What is the sound barrier?

FAQ
The sound barrier is the speed that an object must travel to exceed the speed of sound. The speed of sound is often used as a reference with which to measure the velocity of an aircraft. The speed of sound, approximately 331 m/s at 0? C, is considered Mach 1. Twice the speed of sound is Mach 2, three times the speed of sound is Mach 3, and so on.

Should I use a vapor barrier? If so, where do I place it?

Frequently Asked Questions
The location of the vapor barrier depends on the climate. For homes in Florida, we do not recommend a vapor barrier, but highly recommend a rain barrier and an air infiltration barrier. In Florida, nailing on paper (which is black tar paper) backed lath to cdx and then stuccoing over it and then painting with elastrometric paint works well. Don't need to paint cdx. The best way to dispel the heat is to block the direct solar radiation before it gets to the window.
