Your home needs to be protected from water intrusion. It can be a big problem if water makes it into the wrong areas of your home, especially if it goes unnoticed for a long time.
One important part of the protection of your home is vapor barriers. This can be made from plastic or paper, or it could be in the form of paint, but no matter how it comes, its purpose is to block water. This means that it should cover the area completely without any holes or rips (or when it comes to the paint, no missed spots).
There is a need to be careful when installing the sheets since rips and holes could be caused by snagging it on nails or other sharp objects. In some installations, a thicker sheet is used which is specifically made for rough surfaces.
The paint can be used as a primer and then covered with regular paint. It can save you some time and money, which makes it a popular option for homeowners on a tight budget.
