Right forum? Well....Going to change the facade, from brick to wood
A quick question, what should be used? Wind barrier paper, asfaboard, outdoor gypsum, or windbreak fabric?? I've searched around for good answers but haven't really found anything concrete. You don't want to install something that doesn't work.... Considering mold, moisture, etc......

Depends on how it looks when you remove your brick. Is it a wooden frame or stone?
Here's how I would do it on a wooden frame.
At the bottom edge around the house, I would place a drip edge of bitumen felt or possibly metal and let this "hang" over the protrusion.
Then, exterior gypsum board - if you need more than one gypsum board in height, I would place a bitumen felt at the seam that goes under the "upper" board and over the "lower" board.
Outside the gypsum, I would frame with 28x70 so there is ventilation behind the panel.

Hello!
I have a wooden frame behind the brick. We are considering doing as you say, a drip edge of metal just above the foundation.
But I'm undecided, gypsum, paper, or wind barrier? Advantages/disadvantages?

Cardboard or moisture barrier. I personally wouldn't have chosen either of these options - perhaps mostly because I can't see any direct advantages.
With gypsum, you have soundproofing which might not be important for the location of your house. Another advantage is that gypsum is non-combustible - it does conduct heat after a while, so things beneath the gypsum could catch fire if an accident were to occur.
I can only speak for myself, and I would definitely have chosen gypsum. It may be somewhat more expensive than the other options, but spread over 30 years or so, it's not a high cost.

Hi! Thank you for your response!
I have basically ruled out papp. But I'm thinking more and more about windscreen, primarily because it is so easy to work with.
It must be much quicker with the fabric than with plasterboard.
I don't need any soundproofing, we live very peacefully and nicely, and we will be isolating more.
