Importance of Vapour Control Layers in Walls

Which Vapour Barrier to Use
Moisture and condensation forming on the inner side of the wall or within wall structure can be very problematic and cause serious damage if not dealt in due time. This is why it is very important to consider all the potential weak points, especially where there is an increased risk of condensation and undertake proper measures in order of ensuring that the problem will be if not prevented, then at least minimized. This is also important when installing insulation, since unlike some insulation materials contain moisture control layer (in one form or the other), some materials are not protected from moisture and water vapour and require additional protection. Otherwise, with internall wall insulation, you are in risk that the material will absorb water and in time release it onto the wall structure and cause damp issues which can be very hard and expensive to take care of. This is you need to understand the importance of vapour control layer in walls.
