Choosing an Interior Air Barrier
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ef79b0ad52eec4646e35131689b8b5a2?s=52&d=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.greenbuildingadvisor.com%2Fapp%2Favatars%2F200x200%2Fj.png&r=g)
I live in climate zone 5 (central PA). I need a Class II Vapor Retarder on the warm side of my exterior wall assembly. House was built in the 1960’s.
The existing exterior wall assembly consists of woven house wrap, 1/2” fiberboard sheathing, 2×4 studs, Roxul R15 Insulation, Vapor Retarder (TBD), and 1/2” drywall.
My question is…which interior smart air barrier is best for my application? Siga Majrex 200, Pro Clima Intello Plus, Certainteed Membrain, or another product?
A more air tight envelop is my goal and I plan to address the exterior issues in the spring…but want to take the opportunity on the interior side right now.
Thanks for your input!
