UV-Protected Rainscreen System

You’ve seen this growing trend. OPEN siding… exotic hardwoods, composite decking-as-cladding, reclaimed barnwood–it seems to be popping up everywhere. If you’re considering hopping on the open joint bandwagon, make sure to use a weatherization system that’s designed to handle long-term UV exposure. Building paper or felt will not cut the mustard for these exposed wall systems.

Enter the sleek, unprinted, all-black, UV-rated rainscreen system. A trifecta of UV resistance – Invisiwrap UV housewrap, HydroFlash UV+ flashing, and Batten UV rainscreen. These products work together to provide 25+ years of UV exposure behind open siding and can be left completely exposed for a full year ahead of cladding install.
