GrantMcscott Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Just found out that the staples used for the Breathable Membrane are steel and not galvanized or stainless steel. The building has been out in the rain for 7 months and we may get moisture in the cavity. Should I be worried that the Breathable Membrane may fall off one day and we get damp in the building.

Nickfromwales Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Is this membrane over timber frame plus brick exterior? If so, then the ties will be part of what holds the membrane in place also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Should be stainless. It is worth just getting some. If the membrane is on and you have scaffold it is a fairly quick job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantMcscott Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 Yes will be block outer leaf on timber frame. I have to tape the membrane so will do it when I tape it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
