daunker Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hi, im putting up ply for the outer skin (will have breather membrane and then battens, counter battens and vertical cladding. It's going to take me a few days and whilst the forecast isn't horrendous I did think maybe I should tape the joints as there will be some drizzle. I understand the joints are the weak spots as I have not sealed. Then I thought maybe for air tightness I should tape them somehow anyway? Is this a done thing, any product recommended for this ideally which would satisfy both?. Will be breather membrane on top, but I presume this allows breathing. Inside frame will be rockwool, and to elimate bridging pir inside that. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughF Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 It's a done thing in the US when using Advantech Zip System sheathing. You could see if the Zip System tape is available in Europe or over here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
