Cor-A-Vent SV-5 Rainscreen Siding Vent

The Cor-A-Vent SV-5 Rainscreen Siding Vent is a simple effective solution for rainscreen ventilation behind wood hardboard and fiber cement siding. Venting behind your siding is just as necessary and valuable as venting your attic. Trapped moisture from driving rain or condensation can cause major problems. Paint peels off exterior sheathing gets wet siding can warp and your house wrap becomes saturated. The 3/4 in. thick Cor-A-Vent SV-5 prevents insect entry as well as allowing moisture to drain away. It allows drying airflow to pass behind the siding. SV-5 can be paired with treated 3/4 in. thick wood furring strips or use a double layer of Cor-A-Vent Sturdi-Strips for a perfect match. In situations where exterior rigid foam insulation is being installed it is recommended to use 3/4 in. thick treated wood furring strips installed over the foam screwed into the wall studs to provide a structural fastening point for the siding and the SV-5 Siding Vent installed at the top and bottom to supply the rainscreen drainage airflow and insect screen.
