What is a moisture vapour barrier and does it stop all moisture?
Here's the short answer:
Moisture vapour barriers control invisible atmospheric moisture (relative humidity), not liquid water. They permit some moisture vapour transmission, which is why timber floors still experience seasonal movement even with a barrier installed. Floor Sanding Australia explains that barriers manage moisture rather than eliminate it completely.
