Mold and mildew pose serious health risks and cause extensive structural damage, with approximately 45 million buildings in the U.S. having unhealthy levels of mold. Mold lives off of any organic matter and thrives in warm, humid environments. Often referred to as the silent killer, mold can go undetected while causing significant health issues, including respiratory concerns, common allergic reaction symptoms, nervous-system disorders, and depression. Traditional materials often fail to prevent mold growth, endangering occupants and compromising the integrity of buildings. No matter who you are, or where you live, everyone needs to reduce the amount of mold and mildew in the air they are breathing in. Remediation costs can be exorbitant, and the presence of mold can significantly decrease property values. Many buildings fail to meet regulatory standards for indoor air quality due to mold issues, affecting occupant health and property worth.

Inorganic Composition Prevents Mold Growth
MAXTERRA® panels contain minimal organic matter, making them highly resistant to mold and mildew, even in damp environments. Unlike traditional building materials such as drywall and wood, which are susceptible to mold and mildew growth, Maxterra panels are not a hospitable environment for these organisms.
Exceeds ASTM G21 Standards
MAXTERRA® panels exhibit zero fungal growth under ASTM G21 testing conditions, ensuring outstanding resistance to mold in a variety of environments. This high level of mold resistance supports healthier and safer indoor air quality, surpassing typical industry requirements.
Moisture Resistance to Prevent Mold
Mold and mildew thrive in damp environments. MAXTERRA® panels' moisture resistance further ensures that mold and mildew do not develop, even in humid conditions, contributing to healthier living environments.
