While selecting the right material for your insulation needs is essential, correct installation is equally important as it influences the insulation’s quality and value. Wrapping your insulation using a vapour barrier sheet seals everything airtight. This way, it will be impossible for damp air to infiltrate your space. Without a vapour barrier, moulds would start growing and consequently reduce your insulation value.
This is any material that you can use for damp proofing. It could be a foil or plastic sheet, and it serves to inhibit water vapour migration and resist moisture diffusion through a building’s ceiling, floor or walls, among other assemblies.
Air contains a certain water percentage in the form of vapour, and the higher its temperature, the more water it can accommodate. When the air reaches its maximum, the word used to describe it is “saturated.” At the saturation level, the air emits vapour in the form of water in a process called condensation. Cool surfaces like cold walls, doors and windows will cool down the fastest.
If this water vapour percolates the insulation, condensation collects on the surface of your insulation material. Left unattended, the insulation may start rotting or staining, gradually losing its value. To prevent such issues from occurring, you should contact Homex Insulation for vapour barrier insulation in Toronto is vital. Apply this layer on the heated zone’s interior to prevent penetration of damp air.

You will always need a vapour barrier whenever you’re insulating your home’s interior. The only time you can’t use it is when your insulation material comes equipped with a vapour-resistant layer. In such cases, go ahead and conceal the seams and gaps using a special vapour barrier tape to barricade against the entry of the vapour.
Your home’s weakest links are the bathroom, kitchen and ceilings. So, ensure you adequately ventilate these areas.
