Moisture in the wall cavities of homes is inevitable, but builders can still choose products to combat mold build-up. CertainTeed’s Smartbatt insulation with “MoistureSense” features an integrated vapor barrier that reacts when humidity is low or high and adjusts airflow accordingly. The company says that once installed, Smartbatt requires little maintenance and is ideal for high-moisture areas such as crawlspaces, basements, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.
