Abstract:
A drainage and ventilation mat for use in building exterior walls, roofs and basement assemblies that addresses all three of the following major concerns: drainage, cross ventilation/air flow, and compressive strength. The drainage and ventilation mat includes two layers of parallel, square strands that are overlaid at angles to create a diamond-shaped netting of two layers which provides an air space for horizontal and vertical air movement and protects the drainage plane behind it. The mat features a high compressive strength that creates an air space that can withstand extreme construction and environmental forces. The netting is configured with or without a scrim to accommodate a variety of exterior wall, roof and basement assemblies drainage and ventilation needs.

Claim (Index 18):
An improved, breathable, moisture draining building wall, comprising:\n a. a budding substrate, the building substrate being selected from the group of materials consisting of a vertical wall sheathing and a horizontal roof sheathing; b. a building outer layer, the building outer layer being selected from the group of materials consisting of underpayment, siding, block, brick, stone, lath, stucco, shingles, tiles, and panels; c. a drainage and ventilation mat for use in building construction, the mat disposed between the building substrate and the building outer layer of material the drainage and ventilation mat comprising:\n i. a first law of stranded material, the first layer of stranded material having a plurality of strands disposed a predetermined distance apart and parallel to each other; \n ii. a second layer of stranded material, the second layer of stranded material having a plurality of strands disposed a predetermined distance apart and parallel to each other, the second layer of stranded material being overlaid on and relative to the first layer of stranded material so that the stands are angled, and whereby the first and second layers define a netting arrangement; and \n iii. at least one scrim layer disposed on and parallel to the first and second layers of stranded material; and \n d. whereby the mat provides moisture drainage and air movement between the building substrate and the building outer layer, the netting arrangement being resistant to compression by the building substrate and the building outer layer.
