Problem with the vapour barrier
At Hampstead Builders Ltd we carry out large and small building contracts. This particular contract is quite interesting as the building we are working on is only 6 years old and is suffering from internal sweating. The diagnosis is that there is a problem with the vapour barrier. With all the new building products on the market, problems like this are becoming more and more common. Sick Building Syndrome and Building Pathology are key words that are becoming increasingly relevant in the kind of work we deal with today. Unfortunately there are a lot of builders out there who don't understand the consequences of adding membranes without using the correct specifications.
