New from ClarkDietrich, ProChannel Ci™ Cladding Support with Grip-Deck TubeSeal Technology is designed for residential and commercial applications and protects against air and water intrusion. The system uses Grip-Deck TubeSeal® fasteners from TRUFAST to help seal the fastener penetrations, creating a thermally and structurally efficient wall cladding support system.
Installed over exterior continuous insulations without clips, girts, or other large penetrations through the insulation, ProChannel Ci creates a 7/8″ rainscreen cavity with slotted holes for moisture drainage and air movement. ProChannel Ci meets the requirements of AISI S100-16 (2020) w/S2-20 and AISI S240-20. The entire system also meets and exceeds ASTM E331 (Test Method for Water Penetration) and E2357 (Test Method for Air Leakage).
