Talk:Air barrier

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What is the difference between Air Barrier and Exterior Sheathing?

Sheathing is the hard, sometimes structural membrane (such as plywood or OSB) on the outside of a framed wall. Air barriers usually go over that, under the outermost weather-resisting layer, and are normally flexible sheets. I'll see about making that more clear in the article.
