What Is Rain Screen?
Rain Screen Technology was created as a preventative solution for the leaky condo crisis. It is a layer between the sheathing and cladding, called a capillary gap. It allows for air ventilation/circulation, and water drainage.
There are various ways to create this gap. The most common way is to use ½” pressure treated plywood strapping, with a fiberglass bug screen.
There are also roll on rain screens, which are a stapled on mesh. These roll on rain screens are typically used for cedar shingle siding.

When you invest in updating the siding on your home, you want to ensure that your investment will withstand all weather conditions and last a long time.
