Details

Mortairvent Rain Screen Drainage Mat is a drainage and ventilation system specifically designed for use with most exterior siding materials. Mortairvent creates a pressure neutralized airspace between the structural envelope and the exterior cladding of a wall structure. This facilitates the drainage, as well as the ventilation of moisture from the wall system, which is beneficial to the life of the structure. Mortairvent is simple to install and is an easier more cost effective option compared to traditional methods. Bundle in one individual roll the Mortairvent provides 200 SqFt of coverage.

Why You Should Implement A Rain Screen:
Rain screens have become absolute necessity and without implementing them you can have negative ramifications. 90% of all wall failures are due to moisture related issues, and since many wall claddings are not water tight, managing moisture has become a critical design. Without installing a rain screen you could experience corrosion of building materials, staining, cracking, interior deterioration of finishes, poor indoor air quality, increased maintenance, and decreased life-span of building.

Installation Instructions:
• Apply a weather resistant barrier over sidewall sheathing. Note: some regions may require two layers of weather resistant barrier. Check local codes for more information.
• Install Mortairvent after windows and doors have been properly installed and flashed.
• Starting at the base of the wall, unroll Mortairvent from right to left with the fabric flap on the bottom. The blue geomatrix should be facing the weather resistant barrier and the filter fabric facing the exterior of the building.
• Staple or nail every three square feet.
• On the bottom and top course only, fold the fabric flap and tuck it between the (blue) polymer matrix and the weather resistant barrier to create an insect screen. The top course roll will need to be inverted to achieve this.
• On subsequent courses, butt the blue polymer material together without overlapping. Pull the fabric flap over the previous course (shingle style) and staple.
• Apply lath, scratch coat, and stucco or masonry veneer siding over Mortairvent using recommended fasteners and spacing.
