Metal Rainscreens: Single-Skin Panels for the PER Assembly
Sponsored by Dri-Design
Learning Objectives:
- Distinguish between the different metal cladding panel types, including single-skin metal panels, MCM, and IMPs and which wall systems approaches (barrier w all or rainscreen) are associated with each. Review pros/cons, environmental aspects and costs of each.
- Describe the testing methods established by AAMA for both ‘D/B-V’ and ‘PER’ rainscreen systems and know how to compare report data between systems to better understand system performance.
- Explain the basics of detailing climate-appropriate single- skin metal panel PER rainscreen wall assemblies that improve energy efficiency in the system.
- Explore the common metals and finishing options available and which combinations will best achieve project needs of lifecycle, maintenance and cost when used in a single-skin metal panel system.
