Healthier Buildings

Today, rain screen cladding is applied worldwide because they enable architects to meet every requirement in any climate. By creating a two-leaf construction for the external wall, the ventilated air space between the cladding and the structure serves to maintain a healthy indoor climate.

Rain Screen Cladding helps to control moisture – in any climate

No matter what climate you find yourself in, moisture is always an issue and can seriously affect the overall performance of a building. The answer is rain screen cladding, which is designed to breathe. Penetration of rain is minimized and condensation is drained out through ventilation inlets and outlets. The ventilated air space serves multiple functions. The air in the designed cavity will circulate due to air pressure differentials and thermal differentials over the height of the building. In a cold climate this causes the condensation at the rear of the cladding to dry. In a warm climate the moving air will cool the inner layers of the construction, thus reducing the demand for cooling energy. 

Insulated and dry

Rain screen cladding has a space between the cladding and the outer wall – an ideal location for insulation materials. Rain water and condensation are removed naturally by air flowing through the cavity – so that the insulation material remains in good condition and remains effective over time.
