Single Skin Metal Rainscreens

This course compares exterior wall metal cladding systems and takes an in-depth look at the design options, testing, specifications, environmental implications, and the detailing of single-skin metal panel systems as used in a pressure-equalized rainscreen (PER) application.

Learning Objectives:

• Comparing performance attributes of different type of metal cladding

• Determine how metal panel systems can protect structural components of a building

• Identifying testing methods for rainscreen systems

• How to improve the energy efficiency of a wall system

• Specifying a metal panel with a suitable finish for single skin metal panel to meet a buildings projected cost and maintenance life-cycle needs

• Project Case Studies
