I am installing pine tongue and groove exterior siding. Which type of house wrap is best, perforated or non perforated (like Tyvek). Thank you
每一种像特卫强这样的室外防风雨材料都是为了透气,让水分通过它,你通常可以在制造商网站的规格页面上找到透气率。简单地说,为了更好的衡量标准,我们建议使用最透气性好的天气屏障,但比它们在实验室测试中的表现更重要的是它们安装后在现实生活中的表现。正因为如此,我们更喜欢“剥离粘贴”薄膜,因为它们直接粘附在保护套的表面,而不是必须用钉子和钉子把它们粘在一起,这会导致空气屏障上出现成千上万个洞。This page explains it clearly –

That page outlines the pros and cons of different types of house wraps, and as mentioned, how you apply them is as important as the products you choose. The best weather barrier in the world won’t help if you pop a thousand holes in it!
