Breathable Waterproof Membrane*

Wood or Steel Furring Strips*

There must be a wind and water barrier behind the cladding that makes the structure impervious to the weather and the wind. Water will penetrate our cladding so it is extremely important to ensure that your wall is 100% waterproofed. This product should be breathable so the building is able to breathe, and condensation from within the structure is able to escape.

When using steel furring you may use hat channels, z-furring, or a combination of the two. The steel must be 16 gauge, with the steel quality at a minimum of S250GD (250N/mm2 or 36,260 psi), and the steel coating at minimum of Z275g/m2. When using wood we recommend painting the lumber black with an exterior grade paint or wrapping it with the weather barrier to help protect the lumber.

EPDM Rubber Strips**

Stainless Steel Screws**

Our facade cladding is secured using exposed, stainless steel, pan head screws. The screws cannot be countersunk because this would lock the panels into place and our material must have the ability to move. We also offer screws that are powder coated to match the panels. This makes the screws much more subtle, as the screws seem to disappear. Each box of screws comes with the correct driver.

The EPDM rubber strips must always be used on the wood or steel furring strips. You may staple or use a spray adhesive to attach the EPDM rubber strips to the furring strips. These strips not only help to protect the furring, but also aid in the movement of our material.
