A vapor retarder only on a part of a wall

Post by olivir » Mon Feb 02, 2015 1:47 am -1100

Hi everybody,

In some project, there's problem for vapor migration only on certain parts, for example when there is concrete in a timber frame wall. WUFI 2D can modelize that ?

Is it possible to imagine a vapor retarder placed only at critical points ? What overlap width to prevent vapor to bypass the retarder ?

Hello Olivir,

if you can simplify your construction to a two-dimensional cut, WUFI 2D can handle that.
Exceptions are the same as in WUFI Pro like seepage flow or air flow are not possible respectively only simplified.

For more information about WUFI 2D see also our download section for WUFI 2D Manual and Example:
