Hello again
A quick question regarding Vapour control barriers.
Existing walls are double skinned brick, no cavity no insulation, I plan to fix 3x2 battens insulate Between with 50mm celotex.
My question is regarding the VCL.
I read somewhere about taping up the edges of the celotex where it meets the edges of the battens to create a VCL like that.
Is this an accepted method?
If so what tape would I use.
If not acceptable, would I be placing the vcl over the battens or just over the insulation and taping.
If I do place the VCl over the battens then when I screw in my plasterboards won't that damage the vcl?
Many Thanks
