2) Slicker HP - A rainscreen product designed for use behind stucco or stone veneer siding systems. It provides an air gap between the siding material and sheathing which allows any water intrusion or condensation behind the siding system to drain away quickly.
3) Cedar Breather - A ventilation mat designed specifically for use under cedar shingles or shakes. It provides an air gap between the shingles/shakes allowing them to dry out quickly after rain events reducing cupping or curling issues associated with cedar roofing materials.
4) Home Slicker Plus Typar - A rainscreen product designed for use behind fiber cement siding systems such as HardiePlank® lap siding or panels like Nichiha® panels etc.. It provides an air gap between these heavy cladding materials which allows any water intrusion or condensation behind them drain away quickly reducing potential damage caused by trapped moisture within walls..
