The Cor-A-Vent SV-3 Rainscreen Siding Vent is a simple, effective solution for rainscreen ventilation behind wood, hardboard and fiber cement siding. Venting behind your siding is just as necessary and valuable as venting your attic. Trapped moisture from driving rain or condensation can cause major problems. Paint peels off, exterior sheathing gets wet, siding can warp and your house wrap becomes saturated. The 7/16 in. thick Cor-A-Vent SV-3 Rainscreen Siding Vent keeps insects out while allowing moisture to drain away and drying airflow to pass behind the siding. SV-3 can be paired with treated 7/16 in. thick wood furring strips or use Cor-A-Vent Sturdi-Strips for a perfect match. In situations where exterior rigid foam insulation is being installed, it is recommended to use 3/4 in. thick treated wood furring strips installed over the foam, screwed into the wall studs, to provide a structural fastening point for the siding, and the SV-3 Siding Vent installed at the top and bottom to supply the rainscreen drainage, airflow, and insect screen. This product is sold in 4 foot long sections with 24 pieces per box (96 lin. feet). It is also available by the pallet of 50 boxes.
