Lath
The lath drainage plain is the last line of defense against water intrusion
and must be permanently sealed in order to deflect and drain water away
from wall structures and the home’s interior. The choice of sealants is critical
for the lath contractor that demands leak-free homes. Lower quality acrylic
latex-based and solvent-based caulks shrink and pull away from the bond
line as they cure, creating leak points. And, many sealants lack the necessary
flexibility and adhesion to maintain a seal as substrates and structures
move.
RainBuster products perform like no other in the harsh lath environment. They prevent leaks, enhance contractor reputation and reduce callback repair costs. Leading contractors and builders have trusted RainBuster to prevent lath leaks for over twenty-five years.
RainBuster products are designed specifically for sealing moving joints such
as those found in lath applications, where extreme temperature fluctuations,
excessive structural movement, and wind-driven rain are commonplace. RainBuster
sealants stay bonded around penetrations and permanently repair tears in the
weather resistive barrier. RainBuster products are the perfect choice for preventing
leaks and callbacks in the challenging lath environment.
