Home Slicker

Home Slicker® is the answer for protecting wall systems from the damaging effects of moisture. Wind-driven rain from the outside, moisture vapor from the home’s interior, and corrosive surfactants that leak from certain types of siding, usually remain trapped in between the siding and building paper or house wrap.

This unvented moisture can negatively impact the performance of siding systems and building paper or house wrap. It can also lead to the development of mold and mildew in the wall space, potentially creating health concerns. Unvented moisture behind cladding systems can also cause premature failure of paints or stains. Home Slicker effectively drains moisture from behind the siding, reducing the chances of premature peeling or blistering of finishes.

Features

• Installs faster and with fewer complications than furring strips
• Allows wall assembly to dry, extending the service life of all components
• Water resistive barrier is separated from wood and stucco surfactants that can degrade performance
• Helps keeps water resistive barrier from “ballooning” under wind pressure and pulling away from fasteners
• Equalizes pressure across the cladding, reducing opportunity for wind-driven rain to get behind cladding
• Wall is kept drier, reducing opportunity for mold growth behind the exterior cladding
