Rainscreen claddings
are used to protect the exterior walls from rainwater but it provides a
plethora of other benefits as well. It can be described as a water-shedding
material that is placed on the exterior of a commercial building. One of the
primary reasons why rain screen cladding is used in construction is to prevent
any damage caused by rainwater. Rain screen cladding also helps to control the
temperature inside the building.
Apart from
protecting the exterior facade of the building, here are some of the key
reasons why rain-screen claddings are so popular –
Aesthetics – Rainscreen claddings are known
for its versatility and so it is advantageous from a design perspective. Using
rain screen cladding is an excellent way of modernizing old properties and
ensure that new constructions have a contemporary appeal.
Reduced building maintenance – This installation process is
without the use of sealant which is highly attracting dust particles and melts
silicone after a periodic interval. Using Rain screen system cladding protects
the exterior wall of a building from harsh environmental effects. This
significantly slows down deterioration. Materials such as aluminium cladding
will ensure the building and future owners benefit from very low maintenance.
Sound Proof – Installing a Rainscreen panel or cladding adds an additional
layer to the exterior facade of the building which makes the interior of the
building sound-proof. This is especially useful when it comes to any building
construction in urban areas near major roads.
Easy Installation – Rainscreen claddings are
lightweight which makes it easy to install. The cladding can be installed with
little to no disruption to the occupants of the building.
Energy Efficient – Using Rainscreen cladding on the
outer surface of the building makes it cooler during summer and also provides
adequate warmth to the building during winter. With rain-screen cladding,
energy bills can also be reduced by 30%-40%
One of the most surprising facts about Rainscreen cladding is that it has been around us in one form or another for over hundreds of years. Today, it has become a common cladding material in commercial and residential projects.
