Rainscreen facades: Using behind rainscreen facades is advantageous because they offer an extra layer of protection against moisture, preventing it from penetrating the building envelope. This helps to maintain the structural integrity of the building and improves energy efficiency by allowing for proper ventilation and insulation. Additionally, rainscreen facades provide an aesthetically pleasing finish while reducing the risk of mould and rot.

Is it necessary to have a Rainscreen?

A Rainscreen is an exterior cladding system designed to protect the building envelope from moisture, wind, and other weather-related elements. So, is a rainscreen necessary for your building? The answer is often yes in regions with heavy rainfall or high humidity.

Is a Rainscreen waterproof?

Ideally the rainscreen prevents the wall air/water barrier from getting wet but because of cladding attachments and penetrations (such as windows and doors) water is likely to reach this point, and hence materials are selected to be moisture tolerant and integrated with flashing.
