Hello,
I'm finishing off my basement, and on the lower levels where the concrete foundation exists, I want to put wood studs against the wall to hold up the drywall.
My question is whether it would help if I put a vapor barrier between the drywall and the studs, despite not having any insulation behind it.
I am concerned I may actually create a moisture problem on the cold side of the vapor barrier when the warm air hits the barrier from the inside, causing moisture to form.
Somehow I thought by putting the vapor barrier between the drywall and the studs that it may keep moisture from the concrete from coming into the basement suite.
Regards,
Glenn
