DRI-CLAD™️ Drip-resistant Roofing and Cladding
Description

DRI-CLAD™️ is a new series of 'drip resistant' roofing and cladding products manufactured using a cost-effective moisture-absorbing fleece which is factory-applied to the underside of metal sheeting. This provides condensation and moisture control, along with additional thermal and acoustic benefits, and is suitable for use in many construction projects.

Traditionally underlay is installed under metal roofing and cladding to prevent moisture leaking into the structure, however condensation can still form on the underside of the uninsulated metal and underlay. With DRI-CLAD, the fleece lining traps the moisture and prevents water droplets from forming.

Key Features
  • Reduces the likelihood of condensation forming and dripping
  • Provides drier and healthier buildings
  • Mould reduction with increased ventilation within ceiling cavities
  • Reduces the need for mesh and underlays, and reduces material and installation costs
  • Bacterial resistant
  • Fire rating: Complies with AS1530.2:1993 FR Index ≤5
  • Resistant to tearing, deterioration and many chemical substances
  • Available in most Roofing Industries roofing and cladding profiles including Multirib and Maxispan
  • The fleece is laminated to the profile in such matter so that capillary action or deformation of the lap is not relevant
  • Assists with corrosion protection to the reverse side of the roof and cladding
  • Reduces the possibility of bird nesting
  • Provides additional acoustic benefits
  • Can be high pressure water cleansed to remove grime and contaminants
  • Unpainted Zincalume®, Magnaflow® Galvanised, 0.9 aluminium, Colorsteel® and Colorcote®
