COMBINATION LATH/RAINSCREEN ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS OF INSTALLATION AND MANUFACTURE

摘要

Aspects of the disclosure relate to lath/rainscreen assemblies including a sheet defining lath and rainscreen faces, first and second ends, and first and second sides. A plurality of protrusions extend from the rainscreen face and also optionally the lath face. The protrusions on the lath face in combination with the lath face provide a substrate for application of a stucco veneer. If no protrusions are provided on the lath face, the lath face can be secured to siding. The rainscreen face and protrusions of the rainscreen face collectively form channels through which moisture can drain to a weep screen or the like. Each of the lath face and the rainscreen face include area free of protrusions so that multiple lath/rainscreen assemblies can be secured to the structure in an overlapping fashion. Methods of installing and making lath/rainscreen assemblies are also disclosed.
