Mold and mildew growth can be a persistent and costly problem in both residential and commercial settings. These fungi thrive in moist, warm environments, making basements, bathrooms, and poorly ventilated spaces particularly vulnerable. Traditional building materials, like wood and drywall, are susceptible to mold growth because they easily absorb moisture. However, newer and innovative materials such as ENVPLAS® Board can offer a modern solution to mold and mildew prevention.
Understanding
Mold & Mildew
Mold is a type of fungus that reproduces through spores, which are always present in the air. Moisture is the primary contributor to the growth as these spores begin to grow and spread when they land on damp surfaces. Mildew is a type of mold that appears as white or grey patches, typically found in basement or bathroom areas.
The uncontrolled growth of mold & mildew can cause structural damage and ruin appearances of your furniture, while long-term exposure can cause serious health hazards such as triggering allergy reactions and respiratory issues.
