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, longlasting construction.

The risk of rot and mold is a major concerns for homebuilders, contractors, architects, and homeowners.

Repairing rot and mold is very difficult, 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, often associated with costly call-backs.

Product Data Sheets Features & Benefits Ripcord ® — With the sophistication of construction practices it becomes a must to follow the proper sequencing principles. Ripcord ® split release offers the flexibility to install half the membrane before and the other half after the other building envelope components are installed, i.e. housewrap or felt. Only in this way are the proper installation principles followed.

Product Data Sheets Measurement markings — The membrane surface is clearly marked at 6 in. (150 mm) and 12 in. (300 mm) intervals to facilitate the installation procedure. Highly conformable and flexible — Can accommodate settlement and shrinkage movement. Proven track record — Vycor ® Plus flashing employs the same proven technology as our Grace Ice & Water Shield ® —the market leader in self-adhered underlayments for over 35 years.

Product Data Sheets Laps must be a minimum of 3 in. (75 mm). Mechanically fasten the membrane at all vertical terminations. Use only smooth shank fasteners. Consistent with good construction practice, install the membrane such that all laps shed water (following the shingle principle). The top membrane layer should go over the bottom layer. Always work from the low point to the high point.
