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 wall
system 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 homebuild-
ers, 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, and other penetration areas are the most common water
entry points. A self-adhered ashing membrane, properly inte-
grated with the other elements of the building structure, creates a
barrier to water and air inltration and a drainage plane for water
to drain out of the wall.
Grace Vycor
®
Plus high performance self-adhered ashing
membrane provides premium protection against water and air
inltration in all critical non-roof detail areas, that traditional
building papers, felts and housewraps cannot match. When prop-
erly installed, it can reduce the risk of rot and mold development,
often associated with costly call-backs.
