Breather Paper/Membrane

[charliegolf]

Can anyone suggest or recommend an alternative to Tyvek, for wrapping an osb garden room's walls prior to cladding?

By alternative, I of course mean cheaper! But suitable. Thanks.

Anything with a BBA certificate should be acceptable.

Tyvek is a premium brand. There are cheaper breathable membranes out there, but some behave better than others. Some are like tissue paper so you need to be a lot more careful when fitting. This can mean a lot to a roofer.

If you don’t need anywhere near a full roll, you can find the stuff by the meter on eBay. That’s how I bought the tyvek I used for mine

There some things you can skimp on and some things you can't. For a long term structure this is one not to skinp. May I suggest you ask the OSB board suppliers for their advice.

For a garden room a cheaper product is perfectly acceptable.
They used to use building paper, aka glorified kraft paper. Still available I believe, but you rarely see it being used these days.
