Creating a Beautiful Rainscreen Cladding Design for Concrete Walls
Many architects and designers want to improve the monolithic appearance of concrete walls with something more beautiful. Wood rain screen cladding is the perfect solution for many of these designs. Creating a ventilated wall cavity for a rain screen system over a concrete wall is now much easier to design and build. Climate-Shield has created a multi-purpose rain screen attachment channel that does a great job of creating a rain screen wall cavity that works exceptionally well with concrete and masonry walls. The Climate-Shield rain screen attachment channel provides a sturdy anchor to attach wood rain screen cladding over a concrete or masonry wall.
Concrete is an exceptionally durable building material that will withstand the test of time. There are many things that manufacturers and designers can do to minimize the bleak appearance of many concrete structures, including adding colors and textures to break up the monotony. At the end of the day, though, you still have a cold looking concrete structure. To strike a harmonious balance, many creative architects and designers are adding elements of other, more organic and visually pleasing cladding materials, particularly wood siding, to their designs. The balance of these organic and inorganic building materials often strikes the perfect complement between beauty, design, budget and construction goals.
Whether used on the entire wall, or as an architectural feature, hardwood rainscreen cladding can add long lasting beauty, warmth and grace to a concrete wall.
Architectural wood cladding for rainscreen systems is increasing in popularity, as it allows designers greater flexibility in achieving their design goals, beautifully. High density hardwood cladding materials such as Ipe wood siding, Garapa siding and Santa Maria hardwood siding are leading the pack in sustainable rain screen design. The longevity, stability, versatility and unparalleled exotic beauty of these sustainable hardwood cladding options make them a natural fit for many rain screen designs.
