RAINSCREEN

AZ Siding Rainscreen Strapping – Built for Vancouver’s Climate

In Vancouver’s wet and rainy conditions, a reliable rain screen system isn’t just an upgrade — it’s essential. At AZ Siding, we understand the unique demands of the Pacific Northwest. Our rainscreen strapping solution provides effective ventilation, moisture control, and long-term durability for both residential and commercial buildings.

Why Rainscreen Strapping Matters​

Traditional siding installations often trap moisture between the siding and wall, leading to rot, mould and reduced insulation performance. A rainscreen system, paired with proper strapping, creates a ventilated air gap between the sheathing and the cladding. This allows air to circulate and moisture to dry quickly, extending the life of your building envelope.

AZ Siding’s strapping solution helps water drain efficiently and evaporate faster, reducing the risk of structural damage and costly repairs. In Vancouver’s high rainfall climate, this added layer of protection is not just smart – it’s essential.

Installed vertically over a waterproof barrier or building wrap, the strapping ensures continuous ventilation from soffit to base and serves as a solid foundation for your siding.
