Rain Screen Design


Rain Screen Design
Rain Screen Design is a twofold approach used to control rain penetration into interior walls. The first line of defense minimizes rain passage by blocking leaks. The second defense intercepts all water allowing it to dissipate to the exterior.

Rain screen design is a simple, effective moisture management approach. VaproShield Membranes, Rain Screen Design Components and 3D Window Flashing Elements provide an affordable and innovative solution to build a breathable building envelope.
