Are mold-resistant products the answer?
Mold-resistant materials play an important role in minimizing mold growth. The RSMC encourages everyone who is about to build or remodel a home to visit the Web sites of various building material manufacturers to read about innovative new mold-fighting products. However, if mold-resistant products are installed improperly, they offer little protection from the eventual growth of mold. Mold will grow on anything. It has nothing to do with whether the surface in question is organic (paper or wood, for example) or inorganic (glass, fiberglass or steel).
