MTI Rainscreen Drainage Plane Products

Drainage planes provide effective moisture management critical to the health and longevity of every building project. The air space located directly behind the exterior veneer contains the rainscreen drainage system. In this exterior building envelope, a weather-resistive barrier reduces outside forces that draw the moisture into the wall assembly. When moisture does penetrate the exterior veneer, it is able to drain through the envelope via the space created by the drainage plane. Water exits through weeps placed as low as possible on the wall.

As Well as removing damaging moisture, a drainage plane should promote drying of the air in the building envelope by allowing it to move throughout the cavity.
