One of the walls in the kitchen of the Connecticut home we’re remodeling is stone (it’s an exterior wall) and it’s about 1.5 feet thick. When we ripped down the old plaster we noticed that the original framing was put directly against the stone, then the wood lathing and plaster was applied. We have re-framed that wall and are wondering if we need to put some sort of vapor barrier on the stone first, then apply rigid insulation between the studs and then have the new drywall put on. Someone told us that there is a type of non-rigid roll-insulation that has a vapor barrier on one side. Can you recommed what we should put on this wall before it’s drywalled, to make sure it’s properly insulated and no moisture comes in? This is the wall that will have our sink, dishwasher, and stove on it, as well as upper and lower cabinets. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Tim
