Capitalizing On Growth: Leveraging A Premier Ventilated Rainscreen Siding System

The construction industry is prioritizing building envelope performance, driving massive growth in specialized exterior systems. According to recent market research, the North American market, fueled by residential demand and the push for energy efficiency, is expected to grow significantly, potentially soaring to over $4.86 billion by 2030. So, what is the best system to meet this demand? One that also increases efficiency in labor and time.

Unrivaled Installation Efficiency for Rainscreen Systems

We understand that your profitability is unlocked through process efficiency. Traditional rainscreen system installation is burdened by the manual labor of furring strips, a workflow constraint that is conventional but unnecessary and less efficient.

See how it works for yourself in this short video (under 5 minutes):

The key takeaways here are:

• Zero Furring Strips: The patented, 100% marine-grade aluminum clips and Starter Rail are the foundation of the Climate-Shield ventilated rainscreen. By eliminating the need for measuring, cutting, and layering wood strips, installation time is dramatically reduced, cutting overall labor costs.
• Rapid Deployment: Crews can achieve quicker turnarounds, mounting our securely, either horizontally or vertically 16" on center with only one or two screws per clip, depending on the installation. This holds the lower siding plank in place and creates a space to fit the next plank perfectly level as you go. This flexibility in rainscreen façade design ensures project deadlines are met without sacrificing quality.

• Precision and Consistency: The  patented clip and starter rail combination guarantees a perfect, uniform wall cavity thickness, ensuring a flawlessly aligned ventilated wall and simplifying the entire installation process for your rainscreen cladding.

• Energy Efficiency:  The ventilated wall cavity created by Climate-Shield creates a natural convection that balances the amount of heat behind the siding. It also lets trapped humid air easily escape from behind the siding and away from the building envelope. This can improve the interior temperature and keep energy costs down, a major driver in residential rainscreen demand.

The Ultimate Ventilated Wall Cladding for Longevity

The core value proposition of any rainscreen is its ability to manage moisture and thermal dynamics. Climate-Shield delivers the highest-tier performance necessary for modern building codes and client expectations:

• Superior Moisture Management: Our system creates continuous, pressure-equalized airflow behind the rainscreen facades. This actively dries the wood siding and prevents moisture from accumulating, transforming the assembly into a true ventilated wall cladding and eliminating the risk of mold and rot—a primary failure point in conventional builds.
• Healthier Building Envelope: By effectively managing moisture, the Climate-Shield system guarantees a much healthier rainscreen assembly, contributing to better indoor air quality and ensuring the long-term integrity of the structure.
• Durable Materials for Long Life: We pair our high-performance system with Mataverde rainscreen materials—ranging from sustainable hardwoods to stable thermal modified woods—ensuring that every component, from the ventilated walls to the final cladding, is built to last 25 years or more.
