![]() ![]() What we need to satisfy the building code for vapour barriers is that the material data sheet shows that if you apply it according to instructions, it has a permeance of less than 1 Perm. In 2012 one reader located a new ICI latex vapour barrier paint - but today ICI no longer sells in Canada. ![]() I used a latex vapour barrier paint years ago, then lost track of it because not many people used it so it disappeared from most paint stores. It is funny that the paint companies themselves back off from promising that it will do the job, only because they are not really familiar with the building code, but their technical specifications show that they have been tested to less than 1 Perm, making them a legitimate Type 2 vapour barrier. There are even some latex vapour barrier primers that will do the job. Two coats of a good oil paint will provide a vapour barrier of less than 1 Perm as well. Plastic and aluminium sheets are well under 1 Perm. Now the application of that is very interesting. That's the technical stuff, but it is easy to remember that less than 1 Perm is a functioning vapour barrier. ![]() Type 2 : the common vapour barrier for ordinary conditions is defined as not allowing more than 60 ng/(P.s.m2) or 1 perm after ageing, of moisture passage. These are required where there is cladding on the house that doesn't breath well. But just what is a vapour barrier? And maybe you already have one without knowing it.Īccording to the building code there are two types of vapour retarders (commonly called vapour barriers): Type 1 : that have to really restrict the passage of moisture in a major way, defined as not allowing more than 15 ng/(P.s.m2) (metric) or 0.26 Perms (Imperial) of moisture passage.
