Hello!
I am in the process of building a garage and only have trim and paneling for half of the garage left on the exterior. However, I have a special panel on the garage (300mm glued laminated panel) that had about a 6-week delivery time, so I had to order more.
What do you think? I have wind barrier and battens up now on the part that lacks paneling and would like to start with insulation/vapor barrier/ceiling joists inside, but will the insulation be damaged if it rains on the wind barrier and absorbs water?
Thanks in advance!

If it gets wet from the rain despite the roof and windbreaker supposed to protect the wall quite well, wait with any plastic/building boards inside until the summer.
Wind cloth allows water through, it is against wind. So yes, it will be damaged.

Njaa, from the outside, it doesn't let water/moisture through so easily. The outside of the cloth is coated with a layer of plastic that stops water droplets, but not water vapor since it is perforated.L Lolight said:
Okay, that's what I suspected, that it allows some moisture to pass through. I thought that the air gap might be enough to dry out slightly damp insulation, but it's just stupid to take a chance. Then I think I'll wait on the panel, so I can still finish before spring
