Rain Screen Framing System

Francis Zera

Knight Wall Systems’ new CI-PanelTek rain screen framing system makes it easier to install large-scale face-fastened panels. The system’s anchoring surfaces allow for two panels to be joined on one track, and a 1 ½-inch cavity divides the rain screen from the exterior continuous insulation. Cladding options include terra cotta, corrugated metal siding, open-joint panels, and cement board. 855.597.9255. www.knightwallsystems.com
