One of the most reliable ways of keeping exterior walls dry, or allowing them to dry out when they do get wet, is to construct an assembly with an outer protective shell, known as a rainscreen. The assembly comprises, at minimum, an outer layer, a protected inner layer, and a cavity between them to allow for the passive removal of liquid and water vapor. Although the term “rainscreen” emerged in the 1960s, earlier examples date back to the 19th century and are effective at managing moisture and provide exceptional opportunities for energy-efficient performance.
