Rain Screen Design Components

VaproBatten and VaproVent Strips combined with the WALLSHIELD® or WRAPSHIELD® products create an effective rain screen design system.

Rain Screen Design Components include VaproBatten and VaproVent Strips along with WALLSHIELD®, WRAPSHIELD® or RENEWSHIELD™  products. These products used together create a very effective, easy to install rain screen design. They are engineered to ensure trapped moisture moves quickly through the building envelope ensuring maximum ventilation within wall cavity. 

VaproBatten

VaproBatten is a vinyl batten system used in rain screen applications supporting green building design. It is environmentally friendly, made from 100% recycled material and is 100% recyclable. Its unique and innovative design is a direct replacement for pressure treated plywood furring or treated lumber battens reducing trapped moisture damage costs.

VaproVent Strip

VaproVent Strips are designed to keep critters out of the batten assembly.

VaproVent L Strips are attached to the top and bottom of VaproBattens.

VaproVent Hook Strips are used with VaproBattens as a starter strip for vinyl and beveled siding applications, in place of the VaproVent L strip at the bottom of the assembly.
