The Importance of Rainscreen Technology

 

 

Engineered Rainscreen Products

Rainscreen Systems provide a pressure moderated airspace between the inner structural wall and the exterior cladding that promotes drainage and ventilation. Ventilation properties are a key component to removing water vapor and enhancing the drying between the sheathing and exterior cladding.

Mortairvent Rainscreen, perfect for all exterior siding applications. Our innovative RAINSCREEN technology equalizes the air pressure within the wall system by creating a drainage and ventilation cavity between the weather resistant barrier (WRB) and the exterior wall. This design allows excess moisture to drain from the wall system and allows ventilated air to circulate and dry the interior wall components.
