The Benefits of Rainscreen Panels
Rainscreen cladding is becoming a more common preference with American architects for the benefits of rainwater management. The key benefits of using Engineered Stone Rainscreen panels include:
- Rainscreen cladding creates a weather-resistant barrier and keeps moisture away from the core wall.
- Efficient water drainage prevents condensation and mold.
- Engineered stone panel production has a lower carbon footprint than any other mainstream rainscreen panel type.
- Greater design options offer a range of textures, gloss levels, limitless colors and designs.
- Simple installation (See Types of Installation Methods) reduces installation time on site. Panels come prefabricated as well as with predrilled holes.
- Easily cleaned and maintained. A simple clean with soapy water will bring the façade back to life, including removing graffiti!
- Engineered stone rainscreen panels have a proven long life span and the longest warranties available on the market.
- Low environmental impact by using recycled materials and environmentally friendly packaging.
- Rainscreen panels are stronger.
- Rainscreen panels have low moisture absorption.
- Allow versatility of shape and design.
