ThinCast™ Rainscreen Panels
What is a rainscreen?
A methodology for enclosing a structure with an external protective material over a building’s waterproof membrane layer . Three key components to a rainscreen are critical to the success of the product:
- Air space between the exterior cladding and the moisture barrier
- A clear drainage plane behind the exterior cladding
- Drying of the assembly through convection
The ultimate goal is to deflect most of the elements before reaching behind the panels and having a successful draining system to take care of the rest.
How can ThinCast™ Help?While being able to act functionally as any other rainscreen system out there, ThinCast™ also adds the natural beauty of concrete to the mix. Showcasing natural aggregates with a variety of colors and sizes, a modern sophisticated look can be added to any building.
