Uniting Sustainability & Aesthetics, Wood-Plastic Composite Cladding

Approved for 1.0 AIA HSW credits. Lunch is provided and a $100 gift card to either Jay's or Thai 9 Restaurant will be awarded as a door prize.

Today’s building professionals seeking better moisture management and energy efficiency from the exteriors of their projects are turning to rainscreens as a solution to both. Wood-plastic composite (WPC) provides a durable and long-lasting material suitable for use in rainscreen systems, decks, railings, and more.

Reviewed in this course are the manufacturing process, performance and green benefits, and installation of WPC cladding that is fully capped with a polymeric plastic “shield,” providing long-term resistance to moisture, staining, and fading.
