drainage plane for exterior rainscreen systems Provides continuous drainage and drying for residential and commercial walls DriPlane helps masons and designers build drier, more trouble-free walls by providing continuous drainage and drying behind most types of adhered masonry and rainscreen walls. The Masonry Advisory Council recommends that in exterior adhered masonry wall systems, a drainage mat be installed to drain any water that has penetrated to the flashing. A galvanized expanded metal lath, or diamond mesh, should be attached atop the drainage mat.
● Polypropylene mesh bonded to a water and vapor-permeable fabric ● Convenient 48” x 65’ rolls for rapid coverage and fewer seams (¼” material) ● Available in ¼”, ⅜” (10mm) and ¾” thickness ● Unique UV-resistant packaging protects DriPlane rolls from degradation ● Extra-large product labels are easy to read from a distance ● 90% open-weave and vapor permeable fabric allows rapid drainage and drying ● Helps prevents peeling, cracking or blistering of exterior finishes by allowing them to dry quickly and completely from the back ● Easy to install using familiar tools ● Will not absorb moisture ● 100% inert material provides no food source for mold, mildew or bacteria ● Allows complete encapsulation of metal lath in adhered masonry applications ● Acts as a mortar break between adhered masonry base coat and weather resistant barrier (WRB) ● Allows siding and veneers to move independently of the structural wall to help prevent damage due to variations in expansion/contraction rates of wall components ● Allows rapid pressure equalization to prevent air pressure-driven water infiltration
