FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this vapour check barrier?
Its primary purpose is to prevent interstitial condensation within a building's structure and to improve the airtightness of the building envelope.
What does 125 Micron (Mu) / 500 Gauge mean for performance?
125 Micron (or 500 Gauge) refers to the thickness of the polyethylene. This thickness provides robust resistance to the passage of water vapor.
Can this barrier be used on both walls and roofs?
Yes, this barrier is versatile and suitable for use in walls, floors, and roof applications.
How should I seal the joints and edges?
All joints, overlaps, and edges must be sealed using appropriate manufacturer-approved tapes designed for vapor control layers to ensure airtightness.
Is the green color significant?
The semi-transparent green color is a practical feature that aids installers by allowing them to easily see and align the barrier with structural elements like studs or beams.
What happens if the barrier is damaged during installation?
Small punctures or tears should be repaired immediately using manufacturer-approved vapor barrier tape, ensuring a complete seal.
Where should the vapour barrier be installed in relation to insulation?
The vapour barrier should always be installed on the warm side of the insulation. This is typically the interior side of external walls and roofs in most climates.
Troubleshooting
Vapor barrier appears to be letting moisture through.
Check all laps, edges, and penetrations for proper sealing. Ensure approved tapes were used and applied correctly. Verify the barrier is installed on the correct side of the insulation (warm side).
Difficulty aligning barrier during installation.
Utilize the semi-transparent green color to align with studs or beams. If the room is poorly lit, use temporary lighting to aid visibility. Have a second person assist with holding the barrier in place.
Barrier is punctured or torn during installation.
Carefully patch small holes or tears with manufacturer-approved vapor barrier tape, ensuring the tape extends sufficiently onto the undamaged material on all sides.
