ExoClad Rainscreen QuickClips were especially-developed by Nova USA Wood Products to accommodate the natural swelling and shrinkage of wood siding throughout each of the four seasons despite the amount of moisture or dryness. This includes compressing the wood to absorb board expansion when the humidity is high and then moving the siding back into place as the wood dries out during colder, cooler months.
“Natural wood siding is subject to expansion and contraction in the width of the boards as a result of seasonal humidity,” said Steve Getsiv, president and CEO of Nova Products Inc. “In fact, typical siding boards can swell up to 1/8” during hot, rainy months.
