Advanced Rainscreen Solution
Rainscreen systems effectively manage moisture, improve thermal performance, and enhance the overall durability of buildings. They are commonly used in both residential and commercial construction projects to mitigate the effects of weather and promote long-term structural integrity.
A well-designed rainscreen system enhances durability, energy efficiency, and overall performance of the building envelope.
It’s a smart choice for long-lasting and resilient exteriors.
BENEFITS:
+ Moisture Control
+ Preservation
+ Thermal Insulation
+ Energy Efficient
+ Structure Protection
+ Low Maintenance + Easy Installation
Acting as a crucial component of a rainscreen system, DrainStrip™ offers unparalleled benefits:
Moisture Control:
Creates a vital gap between siding and the water-resistive barrier (WRB), facilitating the escape of rain and moist air to prevent moisture buildup.
Effectively manages water, ensuring the entire wall assembly stays dry.
Preservation:
Shields exterior cladding from water infiltration, safeguarding against premature deterioration and related issues like peeling paint.
Thermal Insulation:
Facilitates drying in cold climates without compromising siding integrity.
Enhances cooling in hot climates by promoting airflow.
Energy Efficiency:
Reduces heat transfer through the wall assembly, contributing to overall energy savings.
Structural Protection:
Shields the interior wall from wind, UV rays, and severe weather, minimizing the impact of windblown rain.
Low Maintenance and Easy Installation:
Straightforward installation with minimal upkeep requirements.
Provides long-term returns on investment.
Code Compliance and Superior Performance:
DrainStrip™ boasts a remarkable 96% passing rating, the highest in the industry, ensuring adherence to building codes.
Simple attachment with a strip nailer, compatible with various WRB products, and can hold paper-type WRBs in place without additional fasteners.
The DrainStrip is a universal product than can be used as an exterior rainscreen, but also can be used behind brick facades, cement boards, underneath roofing materials, behind treated 2x members when used against concrete, etc. The list is endless actually. We have had people call to use them for expansion joints as they let water filtrate through them.
