Membrane for wooden shed ?
My wooden workshop is having a major make over - the framing is having
to be patched/rebuilt and weather-boarding totally replaced. Are there any downsides to putting a membrane between the replacement weatherboarding and the frame? The pluses would be draught-proofing and protecting the frame but might there be something I'm missing. Thanks Rob |

Rob tyvex is semi-permeable. Breathes. Tyvex doesn't deterreate and it breathes. Tyvex took the place of building paper or sisal craft as it was known by. Polythene traps condensation. |
