Anatomy of a clad exterior wall
Exterior cladding works as part of a layered wall assembly. Here's how it comes together. Layers tagged In this service are part of Cladding & Specialty.
- 01Wall structure
The studs or framing that carry the exterior wall.
- 02Sheathing
Panels fastened to the structure that stiffen the wall and give the other layers a base.
- 03Weather barrier
A water-resistive, breathable wrap that keeps rain out while letting moisture escape.
- 04Rain-screen furring
Strips that leave a drainage gap, so any water behind the cladding can drain and dry.
- 05Cladding panelsIn this service
The exterior finish that takes the weather and defines how the building looks.
- 06Trim & flashingIn this service
Metal details at openings, edges and roof-to-wall joints that keep water out of the seams.
Typical assembly shown. The exact system depends on your building.
Signs worth a closer look.
Common reasons people reach out. The actual roof condition decides whether it needs a repair, a replacement or a larger scope.
