Question: Should there be a vapor retarder in a sunroom?
Ron writes from St. Louis, Missouri: "Must there be a vapor barrier when insulating a new ceiling in a sunroom? If yes, how should it be done?"
Answer: First, make sure there will be adequate ventilation between the insulation and the roof deck. There should be a minimum 1" air space.
With regard to the vapor retarder, I recommend stapling Kraft-faced insulation into the rafter cavities.
