Water damage is one of the leading causes of facade failure, and can lead to deterioration, mold and mildew growth, as well as a decline in interior air quality. This type of destruction may be preventable with the use of a rainscreen system. A proper rainscreen wraps and protects the building from water ingress, while controlling drainage and evaporation. With a rise in the demand for high-quality, durable, and healthy buildings, rainscreens offer a clear advantage. A variety of materials can be used to construct rainscreen claddings; however, glass is an ideal medium, as it presents virtually limitless aesthetic options, while its non-porous, durable surface offers ease of maintenance and longevity.
