Missing moisture barrier in attic

Michael. You mean the ceilings throughout the home are not painted? Be a first for me.
# Vapour barrier paint – it does exist – it does work.

^ This.

I can’t say I’ve ever seen one. But due to our arid conditions, vapor barriers aren’t a big thing here.

If you insulate the attic floor, it is also important to have a vapor barrier in place, to prevent warm, moist air from rising into the chilled attic from the living space below. The moisture will condense on the wood and insulation, reducing the insulation R-value and encouraging the growth of mold and mildew.
