Hi,
I have to replace some dry wall in a basement. Is installing a Vapor Barrier in a basement wall, which is in common with one of the apartments (the basement unit), recommended in case of significantly different temperatures between the rooms? I understand its use has become controversial and in basements and areas below foundation level, particularly those formed in concrete, vapor retarder placement can be problematic.
Thanks,
Nir
