Tyvek
I have stucco on my house and it leaks. The building paper was not shingled correctly, and the staples holding the wire on, were drove too deep creating holes all over the paper (where it pulled the wire through). I am planning to tear down the stucco, and install Tyvek, and redo the house with either vinyl siding or Hardiboard. I know my walls (i.e. the OSB and some insulation) are wet from a recent rain. Does Tyvek breath well? Should I be concerned about trapping moisture in the wall? I live in Canada, so we have a vapor barrier on the inside of the walls i.e. moisture can only move out of the wall through the Tyvek. Chris |
