Effective water management building materials are essential for harsh weather events

With hurricane season in full swing, harsh weather is on everyone’s minds. This reminds us that effective water management strategies are essential for durable homes and buildings and need to be an integral part of the design process for new construction and exterior remodels, not merely be an afterthought.

The building envelope plays a crucial in protecting projects from excess moisture, mold, and rot. Moisture issues can lead to premature structural deterioration and even costly litigation. Mold and mildew can also create threats to indoor air quality, causing health issues for occupants.

Thankfully, there are now some excellent products on the market that are extremely successful and effective in preventing mold.
