Furring strip installation is more labor intensive and costly
MORTAIRVENT® 202 / 203
When building exterior walls with stone, stucco, brick, cedar, or
ber cement siding, it is important to use an effective rainscreen
system that will provide a means for drainage and ventilation.
Moisture will nd its way into these wall systems by way of
cracked mortar joints, gaps or cracks in the surface of the material.
Natural absorption of the wood or ber cement also needs to be
considered. Once this moisture penetrates the outer surface of
the wall, it becomes trapped in the wall system with no way to
escape, creating the perfect environment for toxic mold growth
and possible structural failure. Mortairvent® is a drainage and
ventilation system specically designed for use with most exterior
siding materials.
Benets
» 95% open design creates a continuous capillary break
and channel for moisture to drain and accelerates drying
of the exterior cladding.
» Durable polymer material is resistant to most known
corrosive chemicals and does not provide a food source
for mold or mildew.
» Minimizes staining, peeling, and blistering of exterior
nishes.
» Made from recycled materials qualifying for LEED credits.
» Simple and quick to install. Easier and more cost effective
than traditional furring strip methods.
» 2-ply design features a backer fabric that improves the
tensile and compressive strength properties of the
rainscreen. The fabric also serves to deect mortar when
used with stucco or a masonry veneer siding.
» Integrated insect screen.
