ClarkDietrich, a leading manufacturer of building products for exterior finishing applications, is adding two new components to its E-Screen™ entangled mesh rainscreen rolls providing a complete exterior cladding moisture management system compliant with ASTM performance criteria.
The new components—Top Vent Track (TVT) and Drip Flashing for Rainscreen (DFL-RS)—were developed for an easy-to-use solution for drainage and ventilation when used alongside ClarkDietrich E-Screen. Top Vent Track provides a secure connection at the top of the wall for ventilation, while the Drip Flashing provides a secure connection at the bottom of the wall to facilitate proper drainage and ventilation.
Made of exterior-grade PVC, the patented designs of both components provide compliance with ASTM E2273 and E2925 for rainscreen drainage and ventilation. They are available in four standard colors of tan, brown, gray and black to coordinate with most cladding colors. The standard white PVC also can be painted, so contractors can match a specific cladding color if desired.
