Park City, Utah, home to two major ski resorts and the main location for the Sundance Film Festival, is a large and extremely popular tourist destination. Not to mention a breathtakingly beautiful town, with mountains surrounding you everywhere you go.
Park City, located about 30 miles from Salt Lake City, is where you want to be if you want to escape the big city and take in some mountain views or hit the slopes with friends. Although Park City is a tourist destination, many people choose to live there year-round.
One home in particular, built in the middle of the mountains was concerning due to the home’s exposure to direct sunlight. The homeowner was worried about the home being unprotected from UV rays and causing damage, which is why he decided to use Keene Building Products Driwall Rainscreen UV behind the reclaimed wood siding.
Driwall Rainscreen UV is a 0.40-inch-thick, high-performance drainage and ventilation mat. It is designed to provide a 10 mm cavity with long-term UV resistance. DriwallTM Rainscreen UV has strength bars to increase compression resistance and the addition of a UV-stable fabric makes Driwall Rainscreen UV ideal for open joint claddings. The UV-stable fabric is solid black to contrast the emptiness and the entangled net is designed to deter insects and rodents from resting.
Driwall Rainscreen UV has many other features and benefits such as drainage of excess moisture and ventilation in one product, a core that absorbs and releases no moisture, simple installation with a mechanical staple hammer, and provides no source for the promotion of mold, mildew, or bacteria.
By adding Driwall Rainscreen UV to the siding, the homeowner was able to protect his home from both moisture and sun damage in the future.
