Steebi87 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Hello, I'm currently in the process of insulating and boarding a lean-to roof and was just wondering with to add vapor barrier above the insulation, or does this cause any sweating below? I've added an image below of what I'm in the process with. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyshouse Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Do not under any circumstances introduce a vapour barrier on the cold side of your insulation - yes sweating, staining and rot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
