While vynil wallcoverings contains additives to resist mold and microbial growth on the product itself,these additives will not prevent growth if moisture is allowed to accumulate in the wall or wall cavity.This is because the vynil will act as a vapor barrier restricting the escape of moisture. Also using an adhesive that is mold resistant will help as will a perforated wall covering that will make it more permeable (allowing fluid to penetrate or pass through it).But at the end of the day the moisture problem should be corrected before installation of wallcovering.
