Sentinel XS - 5 Layer Radon and Water Vapor Barrier
Sentinel XS Radon Vapor Barrier: This material is composed of two layers of white film and one layer of black film, reinforced by an additional two layers for added strength and durability. It has been precisely engineered to offer exceptional robustness while remaining lightweight. It's engineered to have low permeability and extreme strength in a very durability material.
Sentinel XS Radon Vapor Barrier blocks out radon and water vapor even during extreme seasonal temperature changes. Under normal continuous exposure the average life expectancy ranges from 30 to 48 months
The Vital Role of Radon-Blocking Vapor Barriers: Health and Home Benefits
- A radon-blocking vapor barrier is essential for protecting your home and health.
- Radon, an odorless, colorless gas, is a major health risk and the second leading cause of lung cancer.
- A vapor barrier designed to block radon can significantly reduce its infiltration, ensuring your family's safety.
- It also enhances indoor air quality by preventing mold and allergens, promoting better respiratory health.
- The vapor barrier safeguards your home's structural integrity by minimizing moisture intrusion, preventing wood rot and damage.
- It contributes to energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling costs, and enhancing overall home comfort and longevity.

Note: A vapor barrier, while effective in reducing the infiltration of radon gas, cannot guarantee complete and absolute blocking of radon. Radon is a highly penetrating gas that can find its way into homes through various pathways, including cracks, gaps, and openings in the foundation. While a properly installed vapor barrier can significantly mitigate radon intrusion by creating a barrier against soil gases, it may not entirely eliminate the risk. Radon levels can vary depending on factors such as soil composition, ventilation, and the integrity of the building envelope. For comprehensive radon mitigation, it is advisable to consult with a radon mitigation professional and consider additional measures such as active soil depressurization systems and periodic radon testing.
