Architects and homeowners looking for an exterior wood siding system with moisture management qualities. A rainscreen is an exterior wall cladding system where the siding sits away from the outside wall, creating air flow and water drainage away from the actual wall.
The rainscreen wall cladding system is installed using hidden clips. The hidden clips are used to hold the ipe boards in place, providing a seamless siding with no screws or other hardware showing.
A rainscreen’s primary function is designed to limit the amount of water that could potentially come into contact with the building’s primary moisture barrier, reducing the chance that water will find a way into the wall assembly. An added benefit to this is an increased energy efficiency.
