Hi,
When installing a breathable membrane on the back of studwall, are you supposed to come our from behind the studwall and go over brick pillars to seal it fully. If I only apply it to the studwall, the gap between the brick wall and the timber will still have a gap.
Also, at the floor, should I bring it under the timber into the room slightly? Will this help safeguard the timber also? I'm not talking a lot, just fold it under and staple it to the front side of the bottom horizontal timber.
I've tried to explain in an image below, blown up large. So down the studwall, under the beam and tacked to front edge.
Thanks!
