Vapour barrier installation in D’Arcy, Okotoks — 6 mil poly sealed over insulation before drywall, lapped at the seams and sealed at every penetration.
A vapour barrier is one of the few things in a build that is completely hidden and completely unforgiving — once the drywall is on, a torn sheet or an unsealed outlet box stays that way for the life of the wall. In D’Arcy we install and seal 6 mil poly over the insulation on the warm side, lapped at the seams and sealed at every penetration, before any board goes up. D’Arcy is a Calgary community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so insulation calls here range from basement development in the newer homes to attic and wall upgrades in the older ones nearby. We cover D’Arcy, Central Heights, Cornerstone, Crystal Ridge and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week.

In D’Arcy we are often the second trade to look at a wall, so the first question is what the original finish actually was.
Basements in D’Arcy run cooler and damper than the rest of the house, and that affects both the board choice and how long each coat needs.
