How does building with fiberglass mat products apply to the sustainability movement?
Buildings are increasingly becoming tighter and more energy efficient. With that energy efficiency comes the need to manage moisture more effectively during the building process and afterwards. Gypsum panels with fiberglass mats are a sound component of moisture management strategies because they help provide forgiveness to the building envelope, much more so than with paper-faced gypsum drywall. They also help create a structure that is more durably built and more resistant to potential mold growth, which all adds up to a better indoor air quality for its residents.
