Moisture Control is the First Step to
Mold Control
Water from both exterior and interior sources is among the worst
enemies of building
structures. When water enters the building envelope and remains
there for a long time, it creates a favorable environment for the
development of rot, mold and mildew. Proper waterproong
and ashing practices are necessary to ensure high quality, long-
lasting construction.
Repairs of rot and mold are major concerns for homebuilders,
contractors, architects, and homeowners. Not only are such
repairs difcult, but they are also extremely costly. Window and
door openings, deck-to-wall intersections, foundation sill plates,
corners, roof details, and other penetration areas are the most
common water entry points. A self-adhered ashing membrane,
properly integrated with the other elements of the building
structure, creates a barrier to water entry and a drainage plane for
water to drain out of the building envelope.

Aluminum Flashing, a high performance self-
adhered ashing membrane, provides premium protection
against water inltration in all critical detail areas, that
traditional building papers, felts and housewraps cannot match.
When properly installed, it can reduce the risk of rot and mold
development, often associated with costly call-backs.
