Follow on Google News | IMETCO® Evolution™ Complete Rainscreen Wall System Manages Moisture Problems by Anticipating ThemThe new IMETCO® Evolution™ Complete Rainscreen Wall System is an integrated assembly that delivers high-performance energy efficiency, sustainability and longevity for a wide variety of structures.
By: IMETCO Rainscreen design, time-tested successfully throughout Europe and Canada, acknowledges that traditional face-sealed exterior wall design doesn’t fully prevent moisture penetration. The same can be said for previous iterations of rainscreen assemblies. The operating principle for the new IMETCO Evolution Complete Rainscreen Wall System is that “a wall system should be designed with the anticipation that some water and vapor will penetrate the exterior cladding and, as a result, the system can manage it quickly and effectively,” The IMETCO Evolution Complete Rainscreen Wall System includes four basic components: A metal façade ranging from solid zinc panels that will last more than a century to some of the best aluminum products on the market. Panels are available in a wide variety of profiles, materials and colors to fit any design objective–with custom profiles also available. A one-inch air cavity that promotes air flow via the chimney effect to rapidly dry itself out. The cavity is created by perforated horizontal hat-shaped subgirts–requiring no vertical subgirts–with minimal fasteners, a design that results in negligible thermal bridging to a loss of less than five percent. The continuous insulation is non-combustible, water resistant, and vapor permeable, making it an ideal drainage plane. A high-density board designed specifically for this wall system, it features one of the most impressive materials in the building industry: stone wool, a naturally occurring byproduct of volcanic activity first discovered in Hawaii. A water-resistant vapor permeable air barrier that stops the flow of air while allowing controlled diffusion of water vapor, which is particularly important in regions where seasonal temperatures and humidity fluctuate. The IMETCO Evolution Complete Rainscreen Wall System is “rainscreen made simple.” It is a single-supplier, all-in-one system, made of the highest quality materials available and backed by a single-source warranty.
