Fiberglass insulation

Post by C. Furtaw »

If the wall secton has 6" of fiberglass insulation, how to you treat the material that is on the interior of the insulaton next to the gypsum board?This material can be kraft paper, or some other type of insualtion/vapor barrier material that is used for stapling the insulation to the wood studs.
Thanks,

You can either use a membrane and the gypsum board as material layers from the data base or you only enter a sd value for the interior surface instead of these two materials (gypsum board and kraft paper together for example sd = ca. 3 m)...
