Rain screen siding functions as a high-performance exterior cladding system which protects buildings from moisture while maintaining long-term building durability and building energy efficiency. Rain screen systems provide water drainage and air ventilation through their creation of a ventilated cavity which separates the structural wall from the outer cladding. The building envelope design prevents moisture to become trapped which leads to a decrease in rot and mold growth and extends building envelope durability.
Black Locust Lumber provides premium hardwood solutions which function as the perfect material for rain screen installations. Black locust stands as one of the most resilient hardwoods available in North America because it possesses natural resistance to decay and high durability. Its outstanding strength together with its ability to resist insect attacks and decay make it the ultimate material for exterior siding which does not require any chemical protection.
Black Locust Lumber functions as both an effective rain screen system material which delivers high performance and exhibits enduring aesthetic appeal. The natural grain and warm tones of black locust create a refined, organic appearance that complements modern and traditional architecture alike. Untreated wood develops a sophisticated silver-gray patina as it weathers over time, while users can choose to seal it for maintaining its deep golden appearance.
Rain screen siding constructed from black locust wood offers more than visual appeal since it establishes dimensional stability and dependable performance through extreme weather conditions. The product withstands moisture and temperature changes and severe weather without requiring extensive upkeep.
