Enka®WallDrain & 3D WallDrain Rainscreen & Facade Vent

Unlocking the Secrets of Wall Drains, Rain Screens, and Facade Vents with EnkawallDrain

Ventilating Brilliance: A Deep Dive into Wall Drains

Wall drains, rain screens, and facade vents are unsung heroes in the realm of construction, ensuring buildings breathe and endure.

Why Are They Used? These elements serve as vital components for moisture management and temperature regulation. By allowing air circulation and preventing water buildup, they protect structures from potential damage caused by humidity, precipitation, or temperature fluctuations.

Where and When Are They Used?

• Wall Drains: Primarily used in below-grade applications such as basements or retaining walls to prevent water accumulation and moisture-related issues.
• Rain Screens: Deployed on exterior walls, particularly in climates prone to heavy rain or high humidity, to create a protective barrier and enhance energy efficiency.
• Facade Vents: Integrated into building facades to promote air circulation, preventing moisture buildup and enhancing the overall durability of the structure.

EnkawallDrain, 3D WallDrain, and Rain Screen Facade Vent in Action

EnkawallDrain: A revolutionary solution designed for below-grade applications. Its 3D structure ensures optimal drainage, preventing hydrostatic pressure buildup against walls. Ideal for foundations, EnkawallDrain keeps structures dry and robust.

3D WallDrain Rainscreen: A sophisticated rain screen system that combines drainage and ventilation. It creates an air gap, allowing moisture to drain away, and air to circulate, preventing issues like mold or decay. Suitable for a range of climates, it's the guardian against moisture-related challenges.

Facade Vent: Engineered for optimal airflow in building facades, the Facade Vent by Enka facilitates efficient ventilation, reducing the risk of moisture-related problems. It's the secret to maintaining a well-ventilated and resilient exterior.

How They Work in Harmony:

1. EnkawallDrain: Drains water away from the foundation, preventing moisture-related issues.
2. 3D WallDrain Rainscreen: Creates an air gap for drainage and ventilation, ensuring a dry and well-ventilated wall.
3. Facade Vent: Promotes airflow, preventing moisture buildup and maintaining a healthy building exterior.

In conclusion, these solutions play a crucial role in preserving the longevity and integrity of structures. EnkawallDrain, 3D WallDrain Rainscreen, and Facade Vent by Enka are the champions in this arena, providing a holistic approach to moisture management and ventilation. Elevate your construction game with these innovative solutions, and let your buildings breathe with confidence.

EnkaWallDrain and 3D WallDrain products combine Enka and Colback technologies to provide proven performance in the construction industry, resulting in
superior products that are installer friendly.

The WallDrain series is a rain screen product for use behind traditional stucco, EIFS, manufactured stone, fiber cement and metal panel applications.

The product’s 3D design provides a drain path and ventilation for incidental moisture between exterior wall finish materials and weather barrier sheathing. This
product is designed for commercial or residential applications. Low & Bonar’s 3D matrix technologies have been used for decades as a ventilation and
drainage medium for the building industry.
