Understanding Air and Vapor Barriers INSIDE your House

In this episode of the Build Show sponsored by Siga we are discussing vapor barriers.  When and where do you need them, how to install them, AND the importance of air sealing on the inside of your house especially in cold climates.  Big thanks to SIGA for flying us to Switzerland and giving us a fantastic tour of local job sites plus their beautiful factory.  Impressive company!
