Deconstructing Vapor Diffusion for Building Enclosures
Download our Vapor Diffusion guideLong term durability of a building enclosure is key. And designing a building that dries properly is crucial. Using vapor permeable CAVITYROCK® and COMFORTBOARD™ stone wool insulation boards, in the right place, can maximize the drying potential of your wall assembly and improve durability.
Because a safer, healthier environment for those inside is the solution everyone’s looking for. Learn more by viewing our Vapor Diffusion and Condensation Control for Commercial Wall Assemblies guide.

The durability of your building enclosure
The overall performance of the building.
Vapor diffusion is the movement of water vapor molecules through porous materials as a result of vapor pressure differences. It’s one of four critical elements that affects the success of your building enclosure.
Here’s how:
Minimize or manage wetting sources such as air or water leakage.
Maximize drying potential by using vapor permeable insulation such as stone wool in the right place.
Consider climate to ensure correct placement of materials within your wall assembly.
