How long before I install fibre-cement sheets after Ametalin VapourTech Brane?

Newbie question.....

I'm about to put up Ametalin VapourTech Brane around my newly erected stud walls.

Does the fibre-cement sheeting need to be installed immediately after?

Or can the Ametalin VapourTech Brane stay up for a few days in the open weather?

Cheers!

Re: Ametalin VapourTech Brane how long before I install the fibre-cement

Hello @pnolave 

 

Thanks for sharing your question about the Ametalin VapourTech Brane. I've just been speaking to their sales representative, and he's indicated that the insulation can be left exposed for a maximum of 30 days. However, from a building point of view, it would be prudent to install the fibre cement sheeting as soon as possible once you've placed the Ametalin insulation on your house frame. 

 

Here is a link to the Ametalin VapourTech: Ametalin VapourTech Technical Data Sheet

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
