Building Tips for New Homebuyers
Overview:
Purchasing a new home is a thrilling yet daunting experience. To avoid potential pitfalls like mold or leaky roofs, prospective homebuyers should collaborate closely with their builders. Here are some essential construction tips to keep in mind.
Key Recommendations:
- Prevent Mold Development:
Protect your home from mold by requesting that your builder utilize vapor retarders alongside insulation in the walls. Consider smart options like CertainTeed’s MemBrain, which allows wall cavities to "breathe" and lets excess moisture escape, reducing the risk of mold and mildew. Avoid vapor retarders that trap moisture, as they can promote mold growth.
- Proper Equipment Placement:
Ensure that no mechanical equipment, ductwork, or plumbing is installed in exterior walls, vented attics, or vented crawlspaces.
- Temperature and Acoustics Management:
Collaborate with your contractor to use insulation with the appropriate R-value for your region, which you can find online at www.certainteed.com. This will help maintain your home’s temperature and acoustics efficiently.
- Optimize Window Efficiency:
Windows are often the primary source of heat loss and gain. Choose vinyl windows with low-E glass and high-performance glazing systems to minimize heat transmission.
- Roof Protection:
Understand the layers beneath your roof. For example, waterproofing shingle underlayments can be added beneath asphalt shingles to shield your home's interior from leaks due to ice dams and wind-driven rain.
By taking these proactive steps, you can enhance your home's durability and comfort, mitigating common issues faced by new homeowners.
