DELTA®-DRY Ventilated Rainscreen - Animation

DELTA® Rainscreen Systems with built-in drainage and ventilation layers provide reliable protection from moisture build-up. Preventing solar driven moisture from the outside to migrate inwards is an essential requirement to keep wall systems dry. This is especially important for absorptive claddings like adhered manufactured stone veneer or conventional stucco.
DELTA®-DRY is an innovative Ventilated Rainscreen that provides unrivaled drainage and drying capacity, a complete capillary break, and an effective barrier against solar driven moisture. The ideal protection behind adhered manufactured stone veneer, conventional stucco, and other absorptive claddings.

How would this assembly change if one wanted to add 1.5" of EPS to the exterior of the sheathing?

[@coselladorken]

If you have OSB or plywood structural sheathing, the wall layers should be, from the structural sheathing out: structural sheathing; air/water resistive barrier; DELTA®-DRY, EPS, cladding.
This way the moisture-sensitive OSB or plywood is getting the needed drying and ventilation, with an inconsequential affect on R-value.

@@coselladorken Thank you for the reply! So you would recommend applying the stucco to the EPS and not to the Detla-Dry and Lath?

[@coselladorken]

@@fuumink Correct. The reason for using DELTA®-DRY is to add drying capacity to protect moisture-sensitive structural components. If placed to the exterior of the impermeable EPS, it will not be able to do that. Were you using a permeable insulation, such as Rockwool, I would recommend using the DELTA®-DRY & LATH to the exterior of the insulation and behind the stucco. With this assembly, the wall can still dry outward.

Great soundtrack

Too Bad the video has Cero Details. at least you should have used animated text explaining the materials used. Bad sales pitch. Lost Sales opportunity.
