A rainscreen is an exterior wall detail where the siding (wall cladding) stands off from the moisture-resistant surface of an air/water barrier applied to the sheathing to create a capillary break and to allow drainage and evaporation. The rainscreen is the cladding or siding itself [1] but the term rainscreen implies a system of building ...
Rainscreen cladding is a form of weather cladding designed to protect against the elements, but also offers thermal insulation. The cladding does not need, itself, to be waterproof , merely a control element: it may serve only to direct water or wind safely away in order to control run-off and prevent its infiltration into the building structure.
A variant on masonry veneer is the rainscreen veneer. Rainscreens are ventilated at the top and bottom of the cavity to prevent wind-driven rain from being driven into the building by unbalanced pressure. Such systems are typically encountered in areas where blowing rain is a significant concern.
Rainscreen construction is used to improve siding's ability to keep walls dry. ... Products such as 4,-6,-8-and-10-inch (100, 150, 200 and 250 mm) by 12-foot (3.7 m ...
Benjamin P. Obdyke is credited with creating and manufacturing the first corrugated downspout while the company itself claims patents on three products that have been integral in the advancement of building practices over the past 20 years: Roll Vent the first rolled ridge vent, Cedar Breather the first wood roofing underlayment, and Home ...
A common feature in curtain wall technology, the rainscreen principle theorizes that equilibrium of air pressure between the outside and inside of the "rainscreen" prevents water penetration into the building. For example, the glass is captured between an inner and an outer gasket in a space called the glazing rebate.
16 CFR Part 1209 (Consumer Products Safety Commission, or CPSC) – covers settled density, corrosiveness, critical radiant flux, and smoldering combustion. ASTM Standard C-739 – loose-fill cellulose insulation – covers all factors of the CPSC regulation and five additional characteristics, R-value, starch content, moisture absorption, odor ...
