Does Isover's spacer sleeve provide an air gap (facade board)?
I didn't mention my façade; whether it's a jerry-built or not has nothing to do with the research numbers, does it?????H hul said:Unreasonable question, how am I supposed to know how much moisture your façade lets through?
Your construction might be a real jerry-built, which of course requires more ventilation.
If you don't ventilate the moisture away, you'll end up with a single-seal construction, and I think we can agree that's something you don't want.
What I wanted to discuss is whether the numbers, i.e., air exchange, are sufficient for all options or which level one should potentially aim for. But you wanted to talk about my façade, my jerry-built construction, or if it leaks moisture/water, which is completely irrelevant......
Research is conducted with an agenda. A company helps with its "knowledge".R roli said:I didn't write about my façade, whether it's a shoddy construction or not has nothing to do with the researcher numbers, right????
What I wanted to discuss was whether the numbers, i.e., air exchange, are sufficient for all alternatives or which level one should possibly aim for. But you wanted to talk about my façade, my shoddy construction, or if it leaks moisture/water, which is completely irrelevant......
That was just an example.R roli said:I did not write about my facade; whether it is poorly constructed or not has nothing to do with the research numbers, does it?????
What I wanted to address is whether the numbers, i.e., air exchange rates, are sufficient for all the alternatives or which level is potentially the one to aim for. But you wanted to talk about my facade, my shoddy construction, or if it leaks moisture/water, which is completely irrelevant......
You can't set a number on what is an acceptable air exchange since it depends on so many parameters.
Type of facade, geographical location, whether the house is on a hill, densely populated area?
But when there is research showing that only horizontal battens are not okay, I would follow that.
Why are steel profiles always perforated otherwise?
