Vapor Barrier Products

Hi!

First time homeowner here installing a vapor barrier in my crawl space to passivrly mitigate radon levels in our home (1.4-2.6 avg on first floor). I'm going to be installing it myself and am trying to decide between two products that have a pretty steep price difference.

One is the Stego 15mil barrier wrap at roughly $500 for the space we need to cover. The other is Pango wrap which has the added benefit of sealing against termites. I live in a wooded area so its appealing but roughly $1700 and it's meant to go under the slab during construction, which we obviously wouldn't be doing.

Link to the Pango:

Anyone have any experience with these products or know if there's any downside to using the Pango product over dirt without a slab going overtop?

Any advice or recommendations in general about products or the process is very much welcome! I will likely be hiring a company to put in a mitigation system eventually but want to do the vapor barrier myself and see how much of a difference it makes.

Thanks!
