    Hi
    I am about to install a polythene vapour control layer in our new build timber frame house before we plasterboard, not many people locally seem to know much about them I wanted to check does it matter what kind of tape I use?

    And any installation advice anyone could offer would be a great help I am struggling to find much information on the subject.

    Thankyou

    Overlap and staple each full drop onto the studwork. The plasterboard screws should hold the membrane tightly together.

    Thankyou that sounds good as I have heard tape could fail in years to come, what should I do around windows?
