how to make a hole in wind barrier???

[imported_peter]

The problems are piling up right now, so I could use a little help...

This summer I replaced the facade with a lock panel. I only completed the planks that should be underneath, so there's a gap between the planks today (which will later be covered by the lock that I plan to put up in February if everything goes as planned (so you can probably read the end of April...)

Now I'm redoing all the electrical indoors and want to run a pipe above the front door for future lighting there...

so my question is how should I handle the penetration in the wind paper (T-packaging, that white "paper"...)
It feels like it will leak if I just drill a hole and stick a VP pipe through it.

I can't access to remove a plank and seal around the pipe either...

What do you think?? Do you have any creative suggestions...

Thanks in advance...

The wind barrier should not protect against rain. Just seal against the facade, that's enough.

T-emballage is probably the same as Windy. Stick a small hole with a knife and press out the VP-rör. That kind of wind protection is quite tough and elastic, and therefore seals well.

Then do as jon_h recommends.

I claim that the windscreen should indeed protect against rain. The modern windscreen has a function similar to Gore-tex. The water that gets in behind the outer panel should not be able to penetrate the windscreen. However, moisture from inside the wall should be able to pass through the windscreen. In Sweden, the windscreen is marketed as a wind protection, but it is actually much smarter than that. Google housewrap, tyvek, typar for its function.

The type you have used is somewhat elastic. Penetrations should be made through a slightly undersized hole in the screen. This is written in green text on the installation instructions on the packaging.

Now I've contradicted the moderator... How will this go...?

It works perfectly. Just don't argue with me in the bathroom forum..

Sure, it can seal. But I mean that function is not necessary. Very little water gets through the panel, and whatever does seep through trickles down the back of the panel. The water hardly moves fast enough to jump over the air gap and hit the wind barrier, right?

Well, these are probably different religions, and it's rarely useful to argue for one's standpoint. I choose to note that the questioner has received an answer to their question about installations.

I am currently building exterior walls according to the principle (from inside to outside): gypsum//K-plywood//horizontal 45x45 with insulation and installations//age-resistant plastic//vertical 45x145 with insulation//K-plywood (nailed with 50x2.8)//windy//vertical K-plywood strips (batten)//horizontal tongue and groove panel. It becomes quite solid. The wind barrier overlaps a drip edge at the bottom, and of course, I use NTR AB in the sill plate.

Thank you for the answers. The reason I think it might rain in is because the facade is not entirely intact, the covers are not in place and then I believe that rain can blow in between the planks, you know...??
Anyway, I'll do as you suggested.

Thanks so much...

Well, there are probably different religions, and in that case, it's rarely worth arguing for one's point of view.

I am completely open to factual arguments.. I could absolutely be completely wrong, and if that's the case, I would just appreciate it being shown to me.

But if Peter hasn't gotten the lids on yet, then the windscreen definitely has a waterproofing function, I completely agree with that.
