Membrane for wooden shed ?

May 19, 2007 6 Replies

My wooden workshop is having a major make over - the framing is having to be patched/rebuilt and weather-boarding totally replaced.



Are there any downsides to putting a membrane between the replacement weatherboarding and the frame? The pluses would be draught-proofing and protecting the frame but might there be something I'm missing.



Thanks
