Our new kitchen will have a floor to ceiling pantry cabinet that will be on an exterior wall. We also have cabinets in our bathroom that will be on an exterior wall.
With us being in a climate where vapor drive is primarily inward, is having these cabinets on exterior walls a concern for moisture? If so, what are some possible solutions?
Our exterior assembly is:
Hardie, Benjamin obdyke rainscreen, tyvek commercial wrap, OSB with taped seams
For the interior, we planned to do rockwool then drywall. The bathroom will likely have glass mat drywall.
