Controlling Moisture
Insulation can do more than help control the flow of heat into and out of your home -- it also helps control the movement of moisture and water vapor that a family generates during everyday activities such as cooking and cleaning. During the heating season, this vapor moves from a home's warmer interior to the cooler exterior, where it can condense. Continued or prolonged condensation can cause wood rot and the growth of mildew and mold. It can also lower the efficiency of the insulation. That's where vapor retarders come in. |
