Abstract:
Structural furring systems having enhanced drainage functionality are described. Furring strips can include a substantially planar face, substantially planar webs extending from edges of the face, and substantially planar legs extending from opposite edges of the legs. The face and/or legs include a row or array of protrusions configured to accommodate drainage and ventilation between the furring strip and an attached exterior cladding and/or building substrate. Furring strips can be manufactured by rolling a sheet metal such as steel. Additional embodiments include a furring tape configured to be affixed to a substantially flat face of a commercially available furring strip to provide similar drainage features.

Claim (Index 15):
An adhesive drainage tape for a furring strip, the adhesive tape comprising:\n a substantially planar tape defined generally by a length, a width, an inner surface, and an outer surface, the inner surface at least partially coated with a chemical adhesive; and an array of protrusions extending from the outer surface, the protrusions generally defined by a height relative to the outer surface and a spacing between adjacent protrusions; wherein the adhesive tape is configured to be fixed by the chemical adhesive to a substantially flat face surface of a structural furring strip before an exterior cladding article is coupled to the furring strip such that, when the exterior cladding article is coupled to the furring strip, a gravity-assisted drainage flow path is defined by an inner surface of the wall cladding panel, the outer surface of the tape, and two or more of the protrusions.
