Rainscreen
- Structured membrane provides two-sided exterior and interior drainage and ventilation
- Ventilated air space allows interior water vapor to escape between the sheathing board and the membrane while minimizing condensation that could cause potential damage within the building enclosure
- Complete capillary break behind the cladding provides ventilation, which captures and drains transient moisture migrating through the wall structure
- Waterproof, resisting the passage of bulk water from wind-driven rain and snow, and managing water leakage through the cladding
- Installed outboard of the water-resistive barrier over sheathing board
- Material is easily cut, and seams are simply butted together, making overlapping unnecessary
- Exterior cladding material can be installed as usual, right on top of the rainscreen
