To choose the right air barrier material, consider the following:

• Performance: Evaluate the performance characteristics of each material, including its air permeability, moisture resistance, and insulation properties. Ensure that the chosen material meets or exceeds the performance requirements of your project.
• Compatibility: Make sure the air barrier material is compatible with the other materials in your building envelope, such as insulation, sheathing, and cladding.
• Manufacturer recommendations: Consult the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for proper use and installation of their product. This information can help you make an informed decision about the suitability of a particular material for your project.
• Environmental impact: Consider the environmental footprint of the material, including its production, installation, and disposal. Choose materials that minimize environmental impact and promote energy efficiency.
