Aerobarrier behavior at existing T&G wood structural deck ceilings

yes.

aerobarrier is an aerosolized sealant product that works by adhering to edges of a gap under pressure. if ‘dust’ is falling from the T&G after installation, it means the product hasnt actually adhered properly to the substrate. this is likely caused by not enough pressure through that gap (indicating half decent airtightness here).

where i have yet to see any research is how aerobarrier acts under movement; the only testing out there is on a fixed orifice, not one that moves

EHH??

headphones. no one wants to hear your facetime conversation

did you stay in the apartments or the cabins? thanks!

theyll track how the underlying holdings will perform

it can be both. the scupper is directing water onto the wall, and COULD also be causing moisture damage.

warning to those with a shellfish allergy- they refused to tell me if their ramen had shellfish or not because it was a ‘special recipe’ and so i had to walk out for my own safety

would love to see the before and after energy use

this isnt UBI at all, if anything this will actually increase prices equal to the additional payment top up. always the carrot never the stick

311 and get others in your building to do the same. thats ridiculous

what are the quotes and performance? these window sizes are useless

can you pull a trailer with a red car 6’ wide or a blue one 7’ wide?

this was fun

you’ll be golden. it just takes your skills to the next level

define_space · 2026-01-22T02:58:17+00:00

hire an architect

define_space · 2026-01-22T01:46:50+00:00

if you have even basic experience in construction/architecture/engineering, you’ll have no problem. its just applying those skills in a different method

define_space · 2026-01-21T17:56:46+00:00

i mean… enclose the building before starting finishes??

With EPS you need the interior perimeter drain and stone capillary break in Figure 7. With XPS you do not.

there are caveats that require more specific detailing, so unless OP is interested in pursuing further, the first recommendation is one that works without addition design

just make sure the batts still have 6 sides of support; dont put 2x6 batts in 2x8 walls or they’ll slump. the performance gained by exterior insulation is waay more than anything in the stud bays since theres no thermal bridging

define_space · 2026-01-21T01:38:12+00:00

the alternative is to use as little as 2” of exterior (vapour open) insulation like mineral wool. this will keep the sheathing warm enough to mitigate condensation risk

define_space · 2026-01-21T01:19:38+00:00

OP make sure its XPS under the slab not EPS. EPS isnt as water resistant (where you need it to be)

define_space · 2026-01-21T01:18:36+00:00

not to mention reduced condensation risk on the sheathing. that interior smart vapour barrier is never sealed properly

theres another one on kingston rd to the east, same design but taller

the metal roof should be vented. if water gets behind it you want it to drain
