You don’t want to miss this upcoming webinar on August 16, 2023, co-hosted by the Rainscreen Association in North America (RAiNA), “Decoding the Language of Rainscreens.” 

The Rainscreen Association in North America is dedicated to growing and evolving the rainscreen industry through innovation, research and advocacy. Their network of experts play an integral role spreading educational information and advocating for industry growth through working with other industries that benefit from the use of rainscreen technologies.  

Rainscreens are vital to the construction and design industry. They are an assembly of exterior building components designed to prevent water retention and damage to a building. As rainscreens are created from building materials from different trades, the meaning and verbiage surrounding rainscreens has been convoluted and confusing at best. Which is why the experts at RAiNA have dedicated time to researching and decoding the language around building components and materials that make up rainscreens to better understand and find ways to communicate the design and process more efficiently. 

Through universal terminology and understanding of rainscreens and the components involved in the assembly, professionals in the construction and design industries can better communicate their needs and ideas surrounding rainscreens.  

This webinar session led by RAiNA’s team of experts will cover the various components of the common rainscreen assembly to give attendees a better understanding and working knowledge of rainscreen functionalities and usefulness.  

Register for the upcoming METALCON Live! Featuring RAiNA representatives to learn more about rainscreen assemblies.
