21. Promoting and Selling Rainscreen Walls
21
- 20 years later, Rainscreen is still an emerging approach
- Panels are the 1st step, but its not just the panels
- Must know attachment strategies
- Must know moisture management strategies
- Must meet assembly fire code requirements
- Must meet ever changing energy code requirements
- Must promote effective drying of condensate moisture
ROCKWOOL Insulation touches ALL of these “Musts”
