RAINSCREEN CLADDING
Advantages of the terracotta rain screen
The rain screen technique which is integrated into ventilated walls, aims to eliminate at its core, one of the main factors of water penetration into walls.
This happens when there is the co-existence of 3 factors:
-an opening
-water
-a differential force or pressure which makes the water move in through the opening.
The solution involves leaving open joints in the facade which allows free circulation of external air into the internal chamber in such a way that the pressure is equalized.
