I'm trying to understand what a vapour barrier is for in wall insulting and roof insulating and ventilating.
Is it to stop condensation in the room reaching the wall? Protect the insulation? The plaster?
What is the typical layout of a solid wall insulation upgrade to a room. Is it?
Wall-gap-insulation-vapour barrier- gap- plasterboard-skim - (tiles if bathroom)
What is the vapour barrier doing here? Have I got it in the right place?
In a roof does the VB serve the same purpose?
Is a VB the same as a VCL or a breather membrane?
Thanks all.
