Here's a related question: We've been speccing traditional bitumen / felt
dampproofing. Our contractor prefers (of course) to use the newer poly
whatevers. I prefer the traditional, but he had a good point: the bitumen
will crack and dry out over time while the poly whatevers will remain
resilient as long as they are not exposed to UV. What do you think?
