Moisture Control is the First
Step to Mold Control
Water from both exterior and interior sources
is among the worst enemies of building struc-
tures. When water enters the wall system and
remains there for a long time, it creates a
favorable environment for the development of
rot, mold and mildew. Proper waterproofing
and flashing 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 diffi-
cult, but they are also extremely costly.
Window and door openings, deck-to-wall
intersections, foundation sill plates, corners,
and other penetration areas are the most
common water entry points. A self-adhered
flashing 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 wall.
Grace Vycor
®
Plus, a high performance self-
adhered flashing membrane, provides
premium protection against water infiltration
in all critical non-roof detail areas, that tradi-
tional 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.
