Water Vapour Resistance of Exterior Coatings—Influence on Moisture Conditions in Ventilated Wooden Claddings
Katinka Bjørhovde Rossebø,

Abstract:Increasing climate fluctuations and extremes due to climate change are particularly concerning for wooden building envelopes, especially in the Nordic region, which has harsh climatic conditions. The exterior coating’s barrier properties are crucial for maintaining building envelopes’ intended lifespans. Hence, it is unfortunate that the vapor resistance of exterior coatings is not openly accessed for commercial products. This study investigates the influence of the water vapour resistance of exterior coatings… Show more
