Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I used this in my new home, the core is not like reg drywall, it is treated to resist mold and is more like plaster- I don't have a clue if it will help, I just thought I would do everything possible to give me some time to fix a leak- I used fiberglass insulation w/ the paper on for the side walls- so there is paper in the walls- they would not build without it, because of code restrictions. before they insulated, I had all the wood sprayed with aegis anti-microbial-but i feel the real problem is insulation-If there is a leak-it holds the water in the wall-not letting it dry- i wish I had been able to settle on a different type of insulation- but could not find anything else. > > Can someone please tell me if this is good or if anyone has used it in their moldfree home ? > > Thanks > Jay > > http://www.stopfeedingmold.com/ > > > > > --------------------------------- > > Use Photomail to share photos without annoying attachments. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Jay, In my opinion it is a better product, but it's not the answer. The reason being the ends are still not sealed and every time it has to be cut they are left unsealed and it is still filled with the same material as regular sheetrock, gypsum. From what I have read this is where the spores are. Anything that comes from deep within the earth will carry or accumulate spores. The only thing they need now is water. But removing the paper does help alot. I feel any new construction none of these mold producing products should be close to the ground/floors and I would really like to see a different product used that is mold resistant from the floor level to at least 6 " high, in case of water damage/flooding. Just a thought, KC > I used this in my new home, the core is not like reg drywall, it is > treated to resist mold and is more like plaster- I don't have a clue > if it will help, I just thought I would do everything possible to give > me some time to fix a leak- I used fiberglass insulation w/ the paper > on for the side walls- so there is paper in the walls- they would not > build without it, because of code restrictions. before they insulated, > I had all the wood sprayed with aegis anti-microbial-but i feel the > real problem is insulation-If there is a leak-it holds the water in > the wall-not letting it dry- i wish I had been able to settle on a > different type of insulation- but could not find anything else. > > > > Can someone please tell me if this is good or if anyone has used it > in their moldfree home ? > > > > Thanks > > Jay > > > > http://www.stopfeedingmold.com/ > > > > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > > > > Use Photomail to share photos without annoying attachments. > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I did use the densmore fiberglass sheetrock in 2 locations- the back porch, and the basement bathroom rebuild. I DID react to the dust, it was a mold reaction, so I am sure it was from the mold in the dust. After I mopped with bleach water I was ok. It is all done now, it was cut about 1 inch off the floor, we then tiled 4 inches up the wall, so hopefully it will be ok. It was easy to use, but heavy. The handy man liked it. I want to avoid it next time, though. > > Can someone please tell me if this is good or if anyone has used it in their moldfree home ? > > Thanks > Jay > > http://www.stopfeedingmold.com/ > > > > > --------------------------------- > > Use Photomail to share photos without annoying attachments. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
