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
