About this product…
Looking for a durable, lightweight alternative to wood furring strips? Tyvek’s RainVent Battens by DuPont may be just what you’re looking for! Made with a water-resistant, ventilated material, these battens act as an easeful option for people with all construction skill-levels.
Not only are these strips more accessible to the average home-improvement customer, they also offer practical benefits as an alternative to using wood. The unique baffle design of these furring strips allows for both horizontal and vertical air circulation, making for increased airflow, reducing the chances of moisture damage or mold.
In typical wood-framed wall construction, a DuPont Tyvek Weather Barrier is installed over sheathing. When installing these strips in residential construction, they are installed between the cladding or stucco system and the sheathing, creating increased airflow and drainage in these areas.
The DuPontTM RainVentTM Batten is intended for use on stud walls with studs spaced at 16” or less and OSB or plywood sheathing.
