Hello,
I have just started a major renovation and have now noticed that the extension built in 2002 has wind barriers installed both inside and outside, oddly enough. However, I have not yet verified the outside.
What would you do in this case? Is it just a matter of tearing down all the plasterboard and adding a vapor barrier? What are the pros and cons? Additional info: the extended part is on pillars with a wooden frame, good standard of insulation, wooden facade and will now install water-based underfloor heating throughout the property. Currently, only exhaust air is used, no supply air, and the plan is to install an FTX system.

Could the answer be as simple as that there's a vapor brake installed? How can I tell the difference between these fabrics?
Small update, but would appreciate some reflections.
Wall construction consists of the following
Inside out
Gypsum
OSB
Icopal Windy
Cellulose insulation loose
Icopal Windy
Battens

I have now started reading up on cellulose, and there seem to be different solutions and facts about what's applicable?
Welcome any tips.
