Protecting a building’s exterior from outdoor elements, like rain, snow, wind and extreme temperatures, is top priority for contractors. Learning how to optimize structures in all parts of the country to withstand these elements is not only important in keeping the building’s exterior intact, but also to keep energy efficiency at an ideal level.
One proven way to protect a structure against unpredictable outdoor elements is through the installation of a rainscreen system. A rainscreen system is defined as the separation of an exterior cladding from the structural wall in an effort to manage moisture and energy transfer through the wall assembly.
