  Subscribe to FREE newsletter  Jan 22, 2017

DriPlane provides continuous drainage and drying behind most types of adhered masonry and rainscreen walls. The standard ¼” thick product is a polypropylene mesh bonded to a moisture- and vapor-permeable fabric. It is attached between the veneer and weather resistant barrier and is also available in 3/8” (10mm) and ¾” thicknesses.

Provides continuous drainage and drying for residential and commercial walls

For use between the inner structural wall and exterior cladding. May be used behind stucco, thin brick and stone, manufactured stone, stone and brick masonry, fiber cement, vinyl and wood siding, and with most other absorptive claddings and rainscreen systems.

Features
  • Polypropylene mesh bonded to a water and vapor-permeable fabric
  • Convenient 48” x 65’ rolls for rapid coverage and fewer seams (0.25″ material)
  • Available in ¼”, ⅜” (10mm) and ¾” thickness
  • Unique UV-resistant packaging protects DriPlane rolls from degradation
  • Extra-large product labels are easy to read from a distance
Benefits
  • 90% open-weave and vapor permeable fabric allows rapid drainage and drying
  • Molded-in channels provide clear, continuous drainage and ventilation pathways
  • Helps prevents peeling, cracking or blistering of exterior finishes by allowing them to dry quickly and completely from the back
  • Easy to install using familiar tools
  • Will not absorb moisture
  • 100% inert material provides no food source for mold, mildew or bacteria
  • Allows complete encapsulation of metal lath in adhered masonry applications
  • Acts as a mortar break between adhered masonry base coat and weather resistant barrier (WRB)
  • Allows siding and veneers to move independently of the structural wall to help prevent damage due to variations in expansion/contraction rates of wall components
  • Allows rapid pressure equalization to prevent air pressure-driven water infiltration
