Vertical Siding Installation Made Easier
The way you install your vertical siding makes a huge difference in how well it performs.
Traditional vertical siding installation uses a complex grid of wood furring strips. It’s a lower upfront material cost but the installation is very labor intensive and time consuming. An estimate on a two man residential siding project can be up to 16 hours just for the furring strips installation.
The traditional installation does not provide a gap between siding boards for humid air or rainwater to easily escape. Instead, the furring strip grid can actually trap that moisture behind the wall and against the building envelope, creating the perfect place for rot and mold to develop against your home.
Incorrect ventilation behind your siding can cause this kind of mold and rot nightmare in a short time
Siding vents can be created at the top and bottom of the wall, but the water has no clear path to get there, creating issues behind your siding over time.
Climate-Shield® Rainscreen Siding System is a patented installation method using a stainless-steel starter rail and aluminum alloy and stainless-steel fasteners to create the wall cavity and the recommended ¾” gap between the siding boards consistently and accurately throughout your exterior.
Heat, humidity, water, and moisture can run through and out, or evaporate from anywhere behind the siding. And because this system uses aluminum and stainless-steel components instead of wood furring strips, the system won’t rot from moisture running by and through them.
Pura NFC in Slate Ebony added vertically to this new addition makes it stand out.
A sweeping soffit over an entrance way with Pura NFC siding goes from outdoors to in creating an airy and open feel.
An added bonus - Pura NFC siding was used on the doorway of this restaurant in a diagonal pattern. The exterior used the same Pura siding. Pura can be installed on the diagonal on your exterior rainscreen as well. The sky really is the limit, even when it isn't vertical.
