Description
Designed Specifically for Brazilian Hardwood Rain-Screen Siding
The Brazilian Wood Depot Hidden Rain-Screen Siding Clip System was engineered specifically for installing Ipe Rain-Screen Siding and other premium Brazilian hardwood siding products. Unlike traditional face-fastened siding, this hidden fastening system creates a clean architectural appearance while preserving the uninterrupted beauty of the hardwood surface.
Designed exclusively for true rain-screen wall assemblies, these clips securely fasten siding to vertical furring strips while maintaining the continuous ventilation cavity necessary for drainage, airflow, and long-term exterior wall performance.
These clips are available exclusively with Brazilian Wood Depot hardwood siding purchases. Every hardware package is matched to your siding order to ensure proper quantities, compatible components, and installation support from start to finish.
These hidden siding clips are designed specifically for our complete line of Ipe Rain-Screen Siding and other premium Brazilian hardwood cladding products, creating a complete exterior wall system engineered for exceptional durability, clean architectural detailing, and long-term performance.
Our siding clips are designed for the complete lineup of Brazilian hardwood siding products, including Ipe Siding, Cumaru Siding, Garapa Siding, Tigerwood Siding, Massaranduba Siding, Purpleheart Siding, and Brown Balau Siding. If you’re still deciding which hardwood is best for your project, our Complete Ipe Rain-Screen Siding Guide explains why Ipe continues to set the benchmark for durability, stability, fire resistance, and long-term exterior performance while providing helpful comparisons to other premium Brazilian hardwood species.

Premium Features That Set BWD Siding Clips Apart
Unlike generic hidden siding fasteners originally adapted from other cladding systems, BWD Hidden Siding Clips were engineered specifically for the unique characteristics of dense Brazilian hardwood siding.
- Double-width joint clips simplify butt joints by allowing adjoining siding boards to terminate on a single fastener while maintaining proper alignment and support.
- Corrosion-resistant aluminum clip body combined with 599 Magni-coated fasteners delivers corrosion resistance approaching that of stainless steel while providing an economical, long-lasting fastening system.
- Completely hidden fastening system eliminates visible face screws for a clean, modern architectural appearance.
- Straight-drive installation allows screws to be driven directly into the center of each vertical furring strip—no awkward angled fastening required.
- Designed specifically for rain-screen construction, maintaining consistent board alignment while preserving the continuous ventilation cavity behind the siding.
- Engineered exclusively for dense Brazilian hardwood siding, including Ipe, Cumaru, Garapa, Tigerwood, Massaranduba, Purpleheart, and Brown Balau.
Every design decision was made to simplify installation while producing an exceptionally clean finished façade capable of performing for decades.
Engineered for Modern Rain-Screen Wall Assemblies
A properly constructed rain-screen wall system does far more than simply support the siding—it actively manages water, airflow, and drying behind the cladding. When paired with properly installed vertical furring strips and waterproof membrane, BWD Hidden Siding Clips help create the continuous ventilation cavity that allows moisture to escape while dramatically improving the long-term durability of the entire wall assembly.
This installation method has become the preferred approach for architects and builders seeking maximum service life from Ipe Rain-Screen Siding and other premium hardwood cladding systems.
