Information Paper 12/88 Summer condensation on vapour checks: tests with battened, internally insulated, solid walls
Publication Year
1988
Document Status
Current
Abstract
Some of the factors controlling the deposition of condensation on the back of vapour checks during summer were compared in an experimental building. Orientation, wall material and insulation material affected the number of days on which condensation was present. The existence of a ventilated cavity between wall and insulation, or of ventilation holes in the masonry, were shown to be effective in reducing this type of condensation in high-risk situations.
