Rainscreen Wall Panels

Compared to metalwërks plate based systems econowall rainscreen panels are made from lighter gauges of aluminum stainless or zinc that visually integrate with other metalwërks wall systems.

Rainscreen wall panels.

A rainscreen is an exterior wall detail where the siding wall cladding stands off from the moisture resistant surface of an air water barrier applied to the sheathing to create a capillary break and to allow drainage and evaporation. Understanding rainscreen wall systems the basic idea of a rainscreen is to have an exterior surface a cladding layer that breaks the force of sideways wind driven water movement so that any water which gets through the small breaches in the surface has lost its momentum. The air space connected to the outside air evacuates water and humidity that might have penetrated behind the wall cladding panels through its horizontal or vertical joints. With countless combinations colors and multiple finish options intercept panels can inspire the artist at the core of every architectural designer.

Rainscreens provide limitless design options for building fac ades while controlling moisture and reducing energy consumption. Rainscreen cladding architectural wall cladding panels act as a rainscreen on the outside of the building and keep the structural wall absolutely dry. The rainscreen is the cladding or siding itself but the term rainscreen implies a system of building.
