Rain Screen Design for Envelope Integrity
- Integral cascading gutter system creates a positive drain to conduct any internal moisture out
- Flush glazed horizontal joints allow water to flow freely off the glass without ponding
- Baffled weep system permits moisture to go out and prevents water and air from coming in
- Air barriers and waterproof membranes integrate with the building envelope
Tested to extreme pressures for air and water to assure weatherproof barriers --both in the lab and in the weather for 25 years in the wet Northwest!
Thermally-broken with extruded thermal blocks, highly insulated flashings and technoform spacers enhance the building thermal envelope
NFRC-Certified full-system thermal values give reliable comparative data to evaluate heat loss and solar gain through the skylight frame and glazing
DOD Blast Design meets stringent structural requirements and protects occupants from flying debris
Protects insulated glass seals with blocking design and weeps at every glazing shelf ---we have never had a seal failure in a DeaMor skylight!
Slope minimum 1:12 to drain and maintain 10-year insulated glass warranties
Structurally glazed at low slopes (1:12 to 3:12) to provide maximum resistance to leaks with no caps and 100% flush exterior seals (for more on Structural Glazing Systems)
