Air barrier – taping exterior top plate – GreenBuildingAdvisor
No Comments
Does anyone have a video or any resources they can share that shows how to tape the exterior top plate when creating a continuous air barrier with OSB & tape? My contractor pointed out that there won’t be a good place to tape this part with the roof joists that will be butting up against it. We have a hip roof if that helps any.
We plan to use 3M 8067 for the seams and top plate, Siga Fentrim for foundation seam.
