Vapor barrier and insulation system with fibrous attachment layer

A vapor barrier system for a foundation wall, comprising:

• a non-woven fibrous outer layer of hydrophobic fibers for engaging a vertical foundation surface and drawing moisture away from the foundation surface;
• and
• a multi-layered moisture impervious vapor barrier sheet carried on the non-woven fibrous outer layer opposite a side arranged for engaging the foundation surface;
• wherein the vapor barrier sheet includes a polyethylene film applied to the fibrous outer layer;
• and
• wherein at least one layer of the vapor barrier sheet includes ground nylon for puncture and abrasion resistance.

A vapor barrier and insulation assembly for a foundation wall, comprising:

• a non-woven synthetic fiber layer configured to engage a foundation surface without mechanical fasteners;
• a moisture impervious layer attached to the non-woven synthetic fiber layer;
• an insulation layer adjacent to the moisture impervious layer;
• and
• a perforated cover layer enclosing the insulation layer to the moisture impervious layer.

A vapor barrier and insulation system for a foundation wall, comprising:

• a non-woven fibrous outer layer configured to engage a vertical foundation surface;
• a vapor barrier layer adjacent to the non-woven fibrous outer layer;
• at least one foam insulation layer adjacent to the vapor barrier layer;
• a reflective layer adjacent to the at least one foam insulation layer;
• an outer cover layer secured to the vapor barrier layer and enclosing the at least one foam insulation layer and the reflective layer;
• and
• at least one spacer disposed between the reflective layer and the outer cover layer to maintain an air gap.
