When should you not use a vapor barrier?
Because a vapor barrier is a low permeable barrier, it keeps moisture from passing through. This is beneficial to keep moisture away from a dry surface but will trap moisture behind it if installed on a water-damaged concrete wall, causing the wall to fail further.
What is the downside of radiant barriers?
Potential for moisture condensation
Condensation of moisture can be a concern when a radiant barrier is installed on the attic floor directly on top of conventional insulation. During cold weather, water vapor from the interior of a house may move into the attic.
Should you put plastic between insulation and drywall?
Building scientists recommend applying vapor barriers with insulation to enhance your building or home's indoor environmental quality and energy efficiency.
Does radiant barrier insulation really work?
Some studies show that radiant barriers can reduce cooling costs 5% to 10% when used in a warm, sunny climate. The reduced heat gain may even allow for a smaller air conditioning system. In cool climates, however, it's usually more cost-effective to install more thermal insulation than to add a radiant barrier.
