A vapour barrier (or vapour barrier) is any material used for damp proofing, typically a plastic or foil sheet, that resists diffusion of moisture through wall, ceiling and floor assemblies of buildings to prevent interstitial condensation and of packaging.he function of a vapor barrier is to retard the migration of water vapor, which are not typically intended to retard the migration of air. This is the function of air barriers.
Roseburgâs Radiant Barrier sheathing is an engineered structural panel that combines the strength of plywood sheathing with the energy savings of a reflective foil surface to minimize the radiant solar heat indoors.n fact, tests reveal that radiant barrier panels block up to 97% of the sunâs radiant energy, making the attic up to 30% cooler and reducing indoor HVAC cooling costs by up to 17%. Roseburg Radiant Barrier sheathing is typically used on roof and exterior wall sheathing.
