Nova USA Wood Products Captures Interest for Rainscreen Siding Systems, More at Build Expo Los Angeles
Nova USA Wood’s new ExoDek and ExoClad QuickClip hidden fastening systems for decking and siding captured the widespread interest of builders, contractors, architects and developers attending the 2022 Los Angeles Build Expo. This was due to each system’s unique and patented ability to expand and contract with wood and composite products, which naturally swell and shrink as the moisture and humidity levels rise and fall throughout the changing seasons.
“Wood siding and decking typically expand and contract throughout the year in most climates,” said Keaton Smith, the company’s wood systems product manager. “Our ExoDek hidden deck fasteners and ExoClad Rainscreen QuickClips respond naturally to this swelling and shrinkage by compressing to absorb the expansion. When the wood dries, the hidden fastener systems resiliently move the boards back into place, centered perfectly, and securely fastened to the structure.
