Why Rainscreen
The building science behind the cavity
A rainscreen facade isn't just cladding on a wall — it's a layered system with a job for every layer:
- Outer cladding panel — sheds the dominant rain load and expresses the architecture
- Ventilated cavity — pressure-equalizes compressions, drains penetrating water and vents humidity
- Insulation — kept dry by the cavity, delivering its rated thermal performance year after year
- Air barrier & substrate — airtightness, wind load transfer and structural support
The result: an envelope that shrugs off driving rain in typhoon regions, keeps insulation performing at rated values, and avoids trapped-moisture failures that plague direct-fix cladding.

Fire Safety
A cavity that can't conduct fire
A ventilated cavity is a potential fire path — which is why fire engineering runs through every Hanart rainscreen design. We locate fire-stopping and cavity barriers at every floor edge, around openings and at compartment boundaries, and we select only approved material classes for your project code.
- Cavity barriers at every floor edge
- Fire-stopping at openings and junctions
- Approved A2/B1 material classes

FAQ
Rainscreen questions, answered
A rainscreen facade separates the outer cladding panel from the inner wall with a ventilated cavity. The outer cladding sheds the bulk of rain, and the cavity drains and ventilates any moisture that penetrates, while carrying the wind load. The inner wall provides airtightness and insulation.
The ventilated cavity equalizes air pressure behind the cladding (reducing water penetration drive), drains away any water that penetrates, and vents humidity — keeping insulation dry and preventing condensation. This significantly improves long-term thermal performance and durability of the wall assembly.
Hanart supplies rainscreen cladding in natural stone (granite, marble, limestone), metal (aluminum, steel, zinc, copper), terracotta, HPL composite and fiber cement panels. Every material is available in a range of finishes, sizes and textures.
Yes. Hanart engineers the cavity with fire-stopping at floor edges, cavity barriers and approved material classes (A2/B1) per project code. Full fire engineering of the wall assembly is provided where required, including reaction-to-fire and resistance testing.
Yes — mixed envelopes are common and a Hanart strength. Our engineers design the panel-to-window and panel-to-curtain-wall transition details (mullion interfaces, flashings, expansion joints) so that one team carries single-point responsibility for the whole envelope. See our system comparison guide for guidance.
Installed cost depends on panel material, cavity depth, substrate and height: roughly $40–$120 per square meter for metal and HPL, $80–$200 for stone and terracotta, ex-structure. Request a BOQ from our estimating team for your specific area and material mix.
