Quality of Vapour-Proof Layer Concept in Roof Envelope in Residential Attics

Abstract:

Vapour-proof layer in roof envelope of residential attic has dominant position in terms of moisture regime. It has significant impact on quality and proper functioning of the remaining layers mainly the thermal insulation. The paper points out on the mounting defects in vapour-proof layer installations which occur chiefly due to poor realization during construction. The defects are often ignored, underestimated and their acceptance at earlier and later stages causes serious failures affecting the housing quality.
