Why Your Wall Assembly Needs Convection Drying

From The Build Show.

In this episode of The Build Show, Jake walks through a Kansas City addition project and highlights why proper water management and rain-screen design are critical for building durability. He contrasts common “single-wall” T1-11 construction used in many local spec homes with his team’s higher-performance approach using ZIP-R sheathing, dedicated air and water control layers, and a COR-A-VENT rain-screen system. Jake demonstrates how COR-A-VENT components improve drainage, promote drying, prevent trapped moisture, and extend the life of siding, paint, and the structure itself. Through on-site examples—including cantilevered assemblies, vertical and horizontal applications, and integrated bug-screen details—he explains how thoughtful rain-screen design becomes inexpensive insurance for long-term building performance.
