WaterWay Rainscreen & Ventilation Mats consists of a polypropylene core of fused, entangled filaments in varying thicknesses from a nominal 1/8 inch to 3/4 inch, depending on desired cavity space and cladding selection. The core is bonded to a Moisture Resistive Filter Fabric that functions like an additional layer of Weather Resistant Barrier. WaterWay Rainscreen is designed for Stucco, EIFS, Manufactured & Natural Stone, Fiber-Cement, Brick, Lap and Cedar Sidings and other Wall Cladding Systems.

Features and Benefits:
1. Creates Separation between your building and cladding
2. Forms a space for water Drainage:
3. Provides a Capillary Break
4. Offers Continuous Ventilation Convection:
5. Fabrics functions like Additional layer of WRB
6. Creates a Cushion / Reduces Cracks in Stucco & Stone
7. Simple Interface with Adjacent Material
8. No Special Training or Skills in Labor Force
9. Installation efficiencies Compress Construction Schedules
10. Creates a Thermal Break
11. LEED Points / Green Build Advantage
12. Sustainability - Increased Service Life
13. Post Consumed / PP up to 40%
14. Un-interrupted Space - Helps to Equalize Pressure in the Wall

Galvanized metal roofing (zinc coated) is common in commercial building and especially susceptible to corrosion. In any climate, moisture can build up under the roof and cause damage to the structure. WaterWay mats can be incorporated as a spacer between the metal and roof sheathing providing a passage for moisture drainage while reducing water accumulation which causes corrosion. In cold weather, a cold roof surface is desirable to prevent the build-up of ice and the problems associated with ice dam backup. WaterWay mats create a thermal break and ventilation layer in the roof where the conduction of heat would normally occur. This characteristic reduces the potential for ice dams.
