Dear forum,
we have been living in a prefab house (post-and-beam construction) since 2015. In recent days, we had an exterior stainless steel chimney retrofitted.
For this, a wall breakthrough of about 20-25 cm diameter was made.
A Coolblock from Schräder was installed for the chimney pipe. The chimney pipe runs through this block.
We had to cut through the vapor diffusion barrier for this. Now my question is, how can I close this barrier again?
The barrier is installed about 3 cm deep from the interior wall. First comes the drywall, then a chipboard panel, and then the diffusion barrier.
We would have to close it around the chimney pipe, so to speak. The cutout was clean, meaning the diffusion barrier would first have to be exposed at the edges, i.e., drywall and chipboard would need to be carefully removed to make some of the foil visible in order to possibly glue another piece of diffusion barrier in place with sealing tape.
Afterwards, a round piece of drywall and a round piece of chipboard (in the shape of a donut) would need to be inserted. Here I have the question of how I can insert and glue these two pieces?
Questions upon questions, from the outside the breakthrough is well insulated, but the fabrication inside has to be done on site.
P.S. currently the barrier is open on a 20 cm cutout. Moisture should not be a problem. I assume it must be closed as soon as possible, right?
Best regards
