GetMoldFacts.com Website Provides Information About Fighting Mold

(HIT)-USG Corporation has launched a new web site that provides the latest information about controlling mold in buildings and homes. The site, www.getmoldfacts.com, offers a wealth of knowledge to construction industry professionals, as well as homeowners and other visitors who have an interest in the subject.

The new site's key message is that by controlling moisture, users can help control mold. It includes a variety of facts about fighting mold, highlights specific mold-resistant USG products and lists useful resources featuring additional information about mold and moisture.

In addition, the site takes visitors through pre-construction care, construction care and recommended maintenance practices. It also discusses where mold-resistant products should be installed for maximum effectiveness.

The Web site incorporates extensive use of animated graphics. It runs automatically to tell the complete story or users can navigate the site themselves at their own pace.

To help support its mold eduation efforts, USG Corporation has also provided a grant to form a new organization called the Responsible Solutions to Mold Coalition (RSMC). This coalition will communicate accurate information to both the construction industry and homeowners about effectively controlling moisture and thereby mold in commercial and residential construction.

Additional information about the RSMC is available by visiting the organization's Web site at www.responsiblemoldsolutions.org.
