Moisture Barrier
It is important to use a moisture barrier before installing the foam over wood. There are two types of moisture barriers we use. One is a cloth barrier and the other is a liquid barrier. The two barriers are not equal and have there pros and cons. First we will go over the pros and cons of the cloth barrier.
Cloth Barrier
Pros:
- Cheap
- Fast to apply
- Low skill level to apply
Cons:
- Holes are made in the cloth when installed
- Holes are made in the cloth when the foam is installed
- If moisture is trapped behind the system it will make it past the cloth to the wood through the holes
- We see a lot of repairs with cloth barriers
Liquid Barrier
Pros:
- No holes are made on install
- Rubberizes the wood so even if moisture gets behind the system it can not rot the wood
- We have never had a repair that had liquid moisture barrier
Cons:
- Much more expensive
- Labor intensive
- Messy
