Exemplary membranes, liquid compositions, and methods of the invention involve the use of a hydrophobic acrylic polymer and at least one water-soluble polymer (e.g., PVOH) for providing a water vapor permeable air barrier on construction surfaces. Unlike prior art vapor barriers, the present invention provides membranes having good crack-bridging and non-water-absorption characteristics.
