Rain-screen systems are one of the marvels of modern building science. They provide a preventive rather than remedial solution to the problem of water penetration through external building envelopes.

Rain-screens work on the principle of diminishing the wind pressure that drives the rain through the wall. The system incorporates a cavity at the rear of the rain-screen cladding where counter-pressure develops to deter rain entry into the wall, providing superior durability and energy-efficiency as well as enhanced health and comfort for occupants.
