Does Spray Foam Insulation need a Vapor Barrier?Vapor barriers are sheets of foil or plastic used to prevent moisture or water vapor from entering. Heat is lost from a building by the movement of air and the movement of moisture. Thus when insulation is used, vapor barriers are used over the insulation material to prevent moisture from escaping.
However, if you install spray foam insulation in Huntington, WV you will not need to install a vapor barrier because the spray form itself acts as a vapor barrier. |
