Rain screen cladding includes an outer skin (of rear-ventilated) cladding attached to an existingnew building. While the outer layer takes care of the exterior weather elements, the inner layer provides thermal insulation and carries the wind load, hence conserving energy. In this kind of cladding, the structural frame is maintained absolutely dry and a ventilated cavity acts as defence against any moisture that may seep from the exterior to the interior layer, besides allowing ventilation.
