Dörken Systems Inc. launches new DELTA®-DRY & LATH 2-in-1 rainscreen solution

Posted by | Jan 24, 2019 | 0 |

“Stucco and manufactured stone buildings with wood-based sheathing have unique challenges when it comes to moisture. Without the proper moisture protection, long-term structural integrity is compromised,” explained Marcus Jablonka, Vice President of Operations & Marketing at Dörken Systems Inc. “This was the inspiration behind DELTA®-DRY & LATH. The new system works to not only block solar-driven moisture from moving through the wall from the outside, but also gets rid of any moisture that originated from inside the house in the first place. This process of full ventilation paves the way for quicker drying, and helps to prevent moisture-related issues.”
