Iron Woods® Vanish™ Rainscreen Siding
A New Elegance to the Art of Building Envelope Design
The perfect complement to the natural beauty of our Iron Woods® premium grade exterior building products and our existing line of siding profiles and standard rain screen offerings, the Vanish Rain™ Screen brings a newfound elegance to the art of both commercial and residential building envelope design and construction. Traditional horizontal rain screen siding has long been recommended for improved air flow allowing air to move vertically behind the siding and moisture to evaporate which significantly improves the service life of a building envelope and coating performance.
The Vanish™ Rain Screen System represents a significant leap forward in rain screen design and application. Our unique Vanish™ Rain Screen clips and Vanish™ siding profile provide not only both horizontal and vertical ventilation but also eliminate the appearance of fasteners from the building aesthetic which represents a significant improvement over traditional “on batten/face fastened” rain screen applications.
Stands Up to High Winds
Air flow improves pressure equalization in high wind environments.
Reduces Moisture
Vertical and horizontal air flow reduces moisture from the envelope and connection points while providing superior pressure equalization.
Compliant
Rainscreen siding is building and environmental code compliant.
Aromatic Cedar 4/4 Rough Lumber (Indiana)
$
Regarded as excellent in resistance to both decay and insect attack, aromatic red cedar is frequently used for fence posts used in direct ground contact with no pre-treating of the wood.
Overall, aromatic red cedar is easy to work, notwithstanding any knots or irregularities present in the wood. It reportedly has a high silica content, which can dull cutters. Aromatic red cedar glues and finishes well, though in many applications, the wood is left unfinished to preserve its aromatic properties.
Cedar has a distinct and tell-tale scent: the wood is commonly used in closets and chests to repel moths and other insects. Though eastern red cedar trees are widely distributed throughout the eastern half of the United States, it is a very slow-growing species, and most trees harvested tend to be fairly small in diameter. Because of this, aromatic red cedar boards tend to be knotty and narrow.
In rustic or knotty grades of lumber, there will be a percentage of degrade during the milling process. Some knots may shake lose and/or fall out during the milling process. Mason’s Mill is not liable for these defects in moldings produced from knotty grades of lumber.
Mason’s Mill and Lumber will not be responsible or issue a credit for any cup, warp, twist or splitting that occurs in any custom cut Fir or Cedar boards or beams. These issues can be present in material cut from larger beams and timbers and need to be accounted for by the buyer when determining if Fir or Cedar is appropriate for the intended application. Cedar and Fir products will typically have knots.
