Rain Screen Design Components Overview Printer Friendly Version (PDF, 4MB)

Rain Screen Design Components include VaproBatten and VaproVentStrip. Combined with WallShield or WrapShield, these components 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 drying cavity. 

VaproBatten
VaproBatten is a breathable vinyl batten system for rain screen applications and supports 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.

VaproVentStrip
VaproVent Strips are available in two types:  VaproVent Top Strip and VaproVent Hook Strip.  

VaproVent Top Strip installs at the top of the building envelope assembly preventing insect invasion and providing maximum ventilation.

VaproVent Hook Strip is engineered to install at the bottom of the building envelope assembly. The base flange easily attaches to all types of horizontal cladding
