Depending on the type of home or building and the climate the structure is in, will ultimately change the suggested material for your rainscreen. Some common materials used to make rainscreens include aluminum, glass, stone, or even high-pressure laminate. Some proprietary/commercial systems can be used to create the needed vented or ventilated rainscreens as well. As rainscreens contain a few different parts, other parts of the rainscreen materials to consider are what will be used for the furring system and 3D-plastic mesh. There are a variety of wood strips and metal and plastic commercial products that can be used as furring strips and 3D plastic mesh, as the name suggests, is created of durable plastic. Contacting your local exterior cladding provider, such as Frontek, is a good place to start as the experts there can take the time to understand your home, its location, the natural elements to consider, and the best option for you.
