Fiber Cement Panels Act As Rain Screen
Reduce Mold, Mildew, Rot and Decay
(Atlanta-GA) Moisture build-up, rotting interior walls and
mold growth can now be significantly reduced when using
Nichiha fiber cement panels. The Nichiha patented clip
installation system creates a pocket of air between their
fiber cement panels and substrate acting as a rain screen,
thus helping to prevent moisture rot and decay. The pocket
of air allows for moisture to be released away from
structural components, allowing components to dry.
Rot-resistant, termite-resistant and low-maintenance,
Nichiha fiber cement siding panels are ship lapped on four
sides so no sealant or caulk is necessary for
installation. The patented Nichiha clip system saves labor
time and costs, as no special tools or special subs are
needed to complete installation. The panels can be
installed over various substrates including; metal
framing, structural insulated panels, concrete and wood
framing. No exposed fasteners mean a clean, beautiful look
for any application.
Nichiha fiber cement siding panels are available in seven
stone finishes; Quarry Stone, Field Stone, Architectural
Block, Cinderstone, Brestone, Ledgestone, SandStone™ and
three brick finishes; Canyon Brick, Vintage Brick and
Newport Brick. Nichiha panels are backed by a 50-year
transferable limited warranty. For more information, call
