Over 90% of all building problems are related to water. Unlike continuous rigid fiber insulation that encourages air and vapour flow into and through it, Solar Dry promotes drying to the outside in small impermeable drainage cavities. All in one Rainscreen, Drying Plane, WRB (second plane of defence) and Rigid Continuous Insulation System.
Exterior Continuous Insulation Moisture Control is essential for preventing water damage, condensation, and long-term structural issues in modern wall assemblies. In this video, we break down how continuous exterior insulation works, why it improves moisture management, and how proper installation helps keep buildings dry, durable, and energy efficient.
You’ll learn how continuous insulation reduces thermal bridging, keeps sheathing warmer, and limits the conditions where moisture can build up within the wall. We explain how exterior insulation interacts with air barriers, vapor barriers, and water-resistive barriers to create a complete moisture-control system that performs well in every climate.
This video also covers best practices for selecting insulation materials (rigid foam, mineral wool, wood fibre), achieving proper permeability, sealing penetrations, and integrating drainage planes or rainscreens. Whether you're a contractor, builder, architect, engineer, or homeowner looking to improve building performance, this guide delivers clear insights into successful exterior continuous insulation moisture control.
What you’ll learn:
How exterior continuous insulation protects against moisture and condensation
Why controlling thermal bridging is critical for moisture management
How CI helps prevent mould, rot, and sheathing damage
Best materials for exterior continuous insulation
Installation tips for air sealing, water management, and drainage
Building-science fundamentals behind moisture control in exterior walls
If you're researching wall moisture problems, insulation failures, building-envelope protection, or how to design a more durable exterior wall system, this video gives you everything you need.
