Mold is a serious issue for many homeowners. If moisture finds its way into the home, you may start to see mold and mildew growth. Mold is not only unappealing, but it can also be hazardous to your health, and it's challenging to get rid of. While you've considered insulation for its energy benefits, it can also help combat mold growth. As a leading insulation company on Staten Island, we can go over all of insulation's many benefits.
How likely is mold growth on insulation? The type of insulation you install will determine how likely it is for mold to grow. Mold will grow more easily on some than others. Mold is more likely to grow on organic matter as that is what it needs to eat and grow.
So what is the best insulation if you want to mitigate mold growth? Spray foam insulation. Spray foam is made from an inorganic material that is naturally mold-resistant. Spray foam is made using petrochemicals.
For the very best in combating mold growth, choose closed-cell spray foam. With closed-cell, there are no tiny holes for dust to get trapped. Since dust is an organic material, it can attract mold growth.
The number one reason spray foam insulation prevents mold growth is how it seals a space. Spray foam seals a space so well that it prevents moisture from getting trapped.
