Real Rain Screen™ Siding

Amarealao Decking Atlanta GA

Available Siding Species

Ipe

Ipe Siding (Brazilian Walnut) is olive-brown to dark-brown in color. Ipe is one of the hardest and most durable woods found anywhere in the world. A fantastic choice for residential siding, as well as commercial applications due to its strength and longevity.

Cumaru

Cumaru siding displays varying degrees of red, gold and brown tones, with beautiful grain patterns. Color variety from board to board can be more pronounced in Cumaru, than Ipe, but the durability and longevity are effectively the same.

Tigerwood

Tigerwood Siding is pale to orange, but will darken and display deeper, reddish hues over time when used outdoors. That unique orange tint makes Tigerwood siding a one-of-a-kind choice for exterior AND interior projects

Garapa

Garapa is a blonde or wheat-brown which will also darken and become an amber-tinted brown over time to earn its pseudonym, Brazilian Oak.

Massaranduba

Massaranduba is a beautiful plum red tinted to reddish-brown color. It’s known for a lack of visible knots, and a consistent grain with subtle demarcation partially due to the dark, deep color.

Purpleheart

Purpleheart Siding will start as a very obviously purple color, but gives way to medium brown tones while maintaining its characteristic grain lines.

Brown Balau

Brown Balau Siding has become VERY popular as an alternative to Ipe, with VERY similar color tones, and more importantly- stability.


Only Real Rain Screen Siding is real wood with unsurpassed durability and beauty. It’s naturally resistant to rot and decay and requires little or no maintenance.


Why Use Real Rain Screen™ Siding?

Natural Beauty

Nothing beats the beauty of Real Wood. Shiplap siding of Ipe, Purpleheart, Massaranduba and other premium hardwoods is unique in appearance and many choices are available for color preference.

Durability

RealWood˙ hardwood lumber is rated to last a lifetime – 40 to 100 years! Real Rain Screen™ siding also provides better protection from mold causing moisture than other construction methods.

Easy to Install

Our signature H-clip and siding profile system makes installation easy. Installation provides channels in the walls, which allow the siding to breathe eliminating moisture and minimizing thermal transfer

Maintenance Free

Brazilian hardwood does not need any painting or finishing. It will remain durable and rot resistant for a lifetime. Finish application is required for color maintenance but not to maintain durability.

Installation Tips


Real Rain Screen™ installation requires furring strips fastened to exterior walls over a vapor barrier. Siding is fastened to furring strips – most commonly with 16” centers. Our coated aluminum H-clips are installed using our Magni 599 rust and saltwater resistant coated square drive screws. This installation provides channels in the walls, which allow the siding to breathe eliminating moisture and minimizing thermal transfer. Click the link below for detailed install instructions.

Entrapped moisture is not only a problem in wet climates. Even in dry areas, moisture trapped in a wall system can result in rot, rust, and mold. The structural integrity of the wall is at stake, as is the health of the occupants. Proper installation is crucial to the effectiveness of Real Rain Screen™.
