We are in the process of renovating an old department store to serve
as a new museum. It is an 80,000 sq. ft. building and it will be multi-tenant.
We will occupy about 15,000 sq. ft. on the third and fourth floors. There will
be about 11,500 on the thid floor and 3,500 on the fourth floor (to be
developed in the future). There will be a 30'x16' cut-out between the floors
to be sealed until fourth floor development. There will be a rubber roof.
The exterior walls are brick (three courses thick I think). The
architects plan to attach metal studs to the brick walls, place rigid foam
insulation between the studs and screw drywall onto the studs.
We would like to place a vapor barrier behind the drywall to help
retain winter humidification in our space. I'm looking for suggestions
concerning options for vapor barriers, keeping in mind that the barrier will be
punctured by screws and that we are on a very tight budget.
Thanks. Post to me directly unless you think the list will be amused
by talk about neoprene, etc.
