“The cladding stands off the wall,” Hunter explains. “There’s a moisture-resistant air barrier on the structure, and the airspace behind the panel lets the system dry out instead of trapping water.”
The impact of that separation is cumulative.
Instead of absorbing moisture and cycling through freeze-thaw stress, the wall assembly manages exposure continuously. Over time, that difference shows up in durability, performance, and reduced failure risk— especially under increasingly volatile climate conditions.
