Thanks to ASHRAE 90.1 requirements, drainage planes in adhered masonry and rainscreen walls are becoming as necessary as a weather-resistant barrier. A drainage plane allows water drainage and provides drying ventilation, resulting in far less risk of water damage and improved energy performance.
Understanding why a drainage plane is so important and how to properly specify them in your projects will pay off with drier, more energy-efficient walls that keep your clients happy and help build your reputation.
