Dura Skrim® Construction and Fire-Retardant Applications
Fire-Retardant Dura Skrim
Like our long-standing contractor partners, safety is always a primary concern, so we offer fire-retardant Dura Skrim® poly options in 6 and 10 mil thicknesses. When building codes require a flame-retardant product, we’ve got you covered:
- ASTM E 96 perm ratings of 0.086 perms for 6 mil and 0.031 perms for 10 mil.
- Meets or exceeds the NFPA 701, test method 2 (large scale) and Class “A” wall and ceiling finish category as given in the National Fire Protection Association Life Safety Code 101, “Interior Wall and Ceiling Finish Classification” (ASTM E-84-97a).
- Stock sizes are 6 and 20 feet wide by 100 feet long; 6 mil also comes in 12 wide x 100 feet long.
- Rolls are also available in a variety of custom widths with minimum order quantities; no minimum order requirements for non-stock widths.
Asbestos Abatement/Remediation
Preventing the spread of deadly asbestos fibers with proper sealing is key to asbestos abatement. That requires protecting all surfaces not being treated as well as setting up a secure area with negative air flow.
Dura Skrim® 6 and 10 Mil Fire-Retardant String Reinforced Sheeting consists of two sheets of high-strength fire-retardant virgin film laminated together with a third layer of molten polyethylene. The heavy-duty scrim reinforcement placed between these plies greatly enhances tear resistance and protects workers and surfaces from asbestos during remediation.

Construction Enclosures
Inclement weather can be costly for contractors. You can’t control big weather events, but you can seal in your job site to keep work moving when rain, snow, hail and wind threaten. Whether you are isolating specific areas for demolition and remodel inside an existing structure or sealing the perimeter of a new building, Dura Skrim® materials can save you from costly delays that lead to budget overages.

Crawl Space Encapsulation/Vapor Barriers
As a contractor, you understand that crawl space encapsulation and vapor barriers do more than protect buildings from moisture. In fact, Dura Skrim® reinforced laminates protect buildings and occupants from energy loss as well as mold and bacteria growth. Americover specialists will help you choose the right vapor barrier for your climate, building materials, layout, and specific application (wall, ceiling, foundation, etc.). Give us a call at 833.261.6501 or request a quote online >>
Divider or Warehouse Curtains
On big industrial projects, divider or warehouse curtains can be a savvy solution for optimally using space while working in phases.

Fire-Retardant Dust Containment/Barriers

Dura Skrim® Fire Retardant also meets or exceeds the NFPA 701, test method 2 (large scale) and Class “A” wall and ceiling finish category as given in the National Fire Protection Association Life Safety Code 101, “Interior Wall and Ceiling Finish Classification” (ASTM E-84-97a).

Give us a call at 833.261.6501 or request a quote online >>
In-Wall Vapor Barrier
In-wall vapor barriers protect buildings from moisture and energy loss.

Americover specialists will help you choose the right in-wall vapor barrier for your building needs. Give us a call at 833.261.6501 or request a quote online >>

Under-slab Vapor Retarders
Americover specialists work with contractors to determine what (if any) under-slab vapor retarder is appropriate. Depending on project conditions, climate, and plans for subsequent floor finishes, a Dura Skrim® reinforced laminate used as an under-slab vapor retarder can be an effective way to control moisture migration through a future concrete slab. Such an under-slab treatment can reduce the presence of fungus, mildew and mold. Under-slab vapor treatments can also save you costly mitigations.

Remediation Covers/Liners
When asked why Dura Skrim® has become some of our contractor partners’ go-to brand for short-term and long-term remediation as well as contaminated soil storage, our Americover specialists say “strength.” But strength comes from more than scrim reinforcement; it comes from UV stability, chemical resistance, thermal stabilizers, and carbon black in the outer layers. It comes from an engineering concept that includes white layers designed to reduce heat buildup and condensation.
