    The whole vapour barrier / air barrier conversation is constantly evolving and codes here and in the US are different , but the 6mil plastic vapour barrier we see commonly , is a system that is actually falling out of favour .

    The plastic vapour barrier in our code is actually acting as both the required vapour barrier and air barrier , but these 2 seperate requirements can be acheived with different products , the vapour barrier wrapping studs and headers in our case is doing so more to fufill the air barrier requirement than vapour barrier

    In Merde's case , the air barrier is complete on the exterior with the Envirodri spray on emulsion

    IC, thanks for explaining that.

    does exterior foam sheathing constitute an air barrier, vapour barrier, or vapour retarder?

    Depends on the thickness

    Generally , 1" , taped is an air barrier

    We are going to change the site name to ConstructionAndGuns World.
    I thought you were supposed to be banned now?

    *humor

    This is why I crack up when people say "get a sense of humor"

    Well, I already have one. It is just more highly developed than yours, you retard. Oh, you don't think the word "retard" is funny...

    And so it goes.

    But poop is always funny. Except for 2 cups. OK, poop isn't always funny.
