What is visqueen?

Visqueen is a brand name for a type of plastic sheeting commonly used as a vapour barrier in construction and landscaping projects. It is often made of polyethylene, a durable and waterproof material. Visqueen is used to protect surfaces from moisture, dust, and debris, as well as to create a barrier against the infiltration of water vapour. It is commonly used in applications such as greenhouse construction, temporary weather protection, and under-slab moisture barriers. Visqueen comes in various thicknesses and sizes to suit different project needs.
