Written by Chris Nolan on Tue, Apr 9, 2019 @ 05:04 AM

Because they are so effective, architects and designers are specifying more rain screen systems than ever before. A well-designed rain screen system can add years to a home or building and create a healthier indoor environment. And architects know it. Designers gravitate toward a horizontal wood outside corner when designing wood rain screens. Here’s why they love the Climate-Shield outside corner. And installers do, too.

Designers love the sleek ‘wrap-around’ look of a horizontal wood outside corner for their wood rain screen designs. But they scare the hell out of contractors. Quality builders are often afraid that a mitered outside corner rain screen corner might 'open up' or move when exposed to punishing weather conditions. Job site call-backs give contractors anxiety attacks.
