WeatherSmart ® Rainscreen
Performance standards you can trust WeatherSmart Rainscreen is an advanced rainscreen system featuring a 3D matrix of heavy polypropylene strands with a fabric backing that provides a fast-drying gap for reliable drainage and ventilation.
Limitations: Consult local building codes and regulations prior to installation. For use on vertical, above grade walls only. Not for roofs or below grade installations. Cover rainscreen as soon as possible, exposure not to exceed 30 days. Exterior finish materials should be installed according to manufacturer’s installation guidelines. Butt edges together to maintain a flat surface; do not overlap 3D matrix. Installation: Install over weather-resistive barrier (WRB) with fabric side facing out after windows and doors have been installed and flashed. Begin at the bottom of the wall with fabric flap facing down and fasten to sheathing or studs using non-corrosive nails or staples. Avoid fastening through flashing or weep screeds and do not over-fasten. Butt edges together to maintain a flat surface; do not overlap 3D matrix. To prevent insects from getting inside the air gap at the base of the wall, fold the filter fabric flap around the bottom of the rainscreen and tuck between the entangled filaments and the WRB. Place the second course of rainscreen with the fabric flap at the bottom. Butt top edge of bottom course matrix to the bottom edge of the matrix on the new course, maintaining a flat surface. The fabric edge of the new course should overlap the 3D matrix of the prior course in shingle fashion. Use this method for remaining courses. For the last course, rainscreen can be applied so the fabric edge is at the top. The fabric can be tucked behind the 3D matrix in front of the WRB to screen out insects. If installing with stucco or masonry, install rainscreen over weather-resistive barrier with fabric side facing out to prevent stucco from blocking drainage. Use tape to secure any seams that are not lapped with the fabric flap to prevent stucco from getting behind rainscreen. Lath can be installed directly on top of rainscreen.
