ClarkDietrich is adding two new components to its E-Screen entangled-mesh rainscreen rolls, providing a complete exterior cladding moisture management system that is compliant with ASTM performance criteria.

Ultra Drain Mat, Plastic Components’ rainscreen system for exterior cladding, drains moisture away and accelerates drying inside the wall cavity. Made of a durable 0.25- or 0.40-inch chemical-resistant polymer mesh, it prevents condensation and moisture intrusion and meets the International Building Code for water-resistant barriers.

The EIMA Promotion Working Group announced the launch of an AIA course titled “Performance and Design Benefits of Today’s High-Performance Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems with Drainage.”

Designing for moisture management and air holdout within a wall system can be a complicated business.

Driwall LathNet is a metal lath and drainage plane system for adhered masonry veneer that provides a continuous drainage plane between the lath and weather-resistant barrier.

Stucco is a very versatile material that can be applied to just about any structure, with just about any sheathing, and can accommodate flat or curved surfaces either externally or internally.

Ultra Drain Mat, Plastic Component’s Drainage/Ventilation System for most exterior cladding systems, meets the IBC for water resistant barriers. Its 2-ply channel allows for moisture drainage, and accelerates drying of exterior cladding. Durable 0.25” or 0.40” thick polymer material prevents condensation, and resists moisture intrusion, corrosive chemicals, mold and mildew.

The proposal is for inclusion in both the International Building and Residential Codes.
