Home | Question: How should I insulate between a garage ceiling and bedroom floor? | Question: What tape do you recommend for repairing torn vapor retarder?

Question: Which comes first, foam board or housewrap?

Sandy writes from Norwalk, Ohio: "Does it matter when siding a house which product you put on first, ridged foam board or housewrap and why? I've been told both ways are the best way."

Answer: We have not tested both products together so I cannot offer accurate data. If FOAMULAR® Insulation is applied and the seams are taped, this would act as a weather resistant barrier and there would be no need for housewrap.
