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 waterproofing
and flashing practices are necessary to ensure high quality, long-
lasting construction.
The risk of rot and mold is a major concerns for homebuilders,
contractors, architects, and homeowners. Repairing rot and mold
is very dicult, and 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
and air infiltration and a drainage plane for water to drain out of
the wall.
Vycor

Plus high performance self-adhered flashing membrane
provides premium protection against water and air infiltration in all
critical non-roof detail areas. When properly installed, it can reduce
the risk of rot and mold development, oen associated with costly
call-backs.
