Ben Recommends: Wood Siding
Wood is highly susceptible to moisture absorption and requires a vented air space for drainage and drying to increase the longevity of your investment.
Our recommended solution contains the following components:
- Premium WRB/Housewrap
- Non-Asphalt based self adhering flashing
- Pre-formed corners for advanced sill protection
- At least a ¼" thick engineered rainscreen
Part 1
Slicker HP - Detachable Rainscreen + Premium WRB
Wood needs to dry from both sides. Given the natural absorptive quality of wood siding, you need to create a system that dries the wood from the inside out while protecting your sheathing from moisture. Slicker HP creates a 1⁄4 in. - 7⁄16 in. space that promotes drainage while allowing air to move, drying your wall from the inside out. Slicker HP is also bonded to FlatWrap HP, a premium housewrap, to give you a complete rainscreen and housewrap system in one application.
Part 2
HydroCorner - Pre-formed Sill Corners
HydroCorner Sill Treatment is an affordable option for protecting a window sill from moisture intrusion. Place one HydroCorner in each of the bottom sill corners, and then cover with a piece of HydroFlash for a quick and easy-to-install sill treatment.
Part 3
HydroFlash - Self Adhered Flashing
Use HydroFlash for all of your window and door flashings needs. HydroFlash is an aggressive peel-and-stick self adhered flashing that out-performs other butyl and rubberized asphalt versions. The specially formulated bloc co-polymer can be applied to damp surfaces and installed down to 0° F.
Part 4
Slicker Screen - Bug Screen
Slicker Screen is used in conjunction with Slicker Max to prevent insect infiltration along the top and bottom edge of the siding. The material is precut to a 6" width and is installed with 3” on the backside and 3" on the front side of Slicker Max.
