The Rainscreen™ Panel Introduction
It is now possible to construct a vented rain screen wall with stucco.
The system which prohibits water from crossing the finishing
system, being acrylic stucco, cementitious stucco, siding, concrete
sandwich panels, or rubble masonry. It can also be used to keep
the basement walls dry and provide for air venting roofs.

Effective Protection For Exterior Walls
One look at the Stucco RainScreen Panel™ System will convince
you that the problem of incorporating an effective rain screen
or stucco system into EIFS has been solved. This easy-to-install
panel creates a vented, drained cavity that allows air circulation
and pressure equalization for effective moisture management in
EIFS wall systems – and it does it economically.
The Hows and Whys of the Stucco Rainscreen Panel™ System
- The Stucco RainScreen Panel™ System is made of polystyrene
board with vertical and horizontal grooves in the back
that create a cavity. The panel is easily attached by mechanical
fasteners to the wall.
- The vertical channels in the panel create cavities 10mm deep and
60mm wide that lead water to flashing and weep holes at the
bottom and vent holes at the top of the wall section also allowing
air circulation.
- The vertical ribs are interrupted by horizontal channels, creating
nodes which slope back towards the panel, providing positive
drainage away from the building.
