Slicker^® Classic Rainscreen

The vertically-channeled, three-dimensional matrix of Slicker® Classic provides a continuous space for drainage and drying, a thermal break, and pressure equalization — eliminating the threat of trapped moisture.

Slicker® Classic rainscreen has patented vertical channels that offer extra protection behind cladding or siding to keep water out of the wall assembly. This rainscreen product can be used without furring strips, making it a more time- and cost-efficient choice. Protect your product from moisture with a reliable water management system.
