Rain screen cladding is a type of exterior cladding system that consists of an outer skin, an air cavity, and an inner layer that acts as a weather barrier. The purpose of rain screen cladding is to provide protection against moisture infiltration while allowing for the controlled drainage of water. The outer skin, often made of materials such as metal, fiber cement, or composite panels, acts as a barrier against wind and rain. The air cavity between the outer skin and the inner layer allows for ventilation, preventing moisture buildup and promoting drying. Rain screen cladding systems are widely used in both residential and commercial construction to improve building performance and durability.
