In Seattle, vapor barriers are strongly recommended. A vapor barrier prevents water from entering the walls, floors, and ceilings of a structure, preventing rot, mold, and mildew. Typically, a vapor barrier faces the living quarters of your Seattle home, preventing moisture from leaching from the interior of the house to the walls.

Moisture in the walls is not just a problem because of the rot, mold, and mildew issues. In the greater Seattle area, having wet insulation can actually decrease the efficiency of the insulation, making the house colder and potentially raising heating bills. The water can also freeze and then melt rapidly, creating water stains on the walls and ceilings. Chronic moisture can also cause the wood in a structure to warp, causing structural instability.

When structures are built, a vapor barrier is often installed in the process of building the walls, with the insulation being added later. However, it is possible to use vapor barrier insulation instead, condensing this process into one step. This type of insulation can also be used for things like making a finished basement, insulating an attic, or replacing damaged insulation in a home. If a vapor barrier is already present, the vapor barrier insulation can be perforated to allow the moisture to pass through. Just Call (206) 407-3015
