What other experts say
“We installed the CL-300 system in only 3 days, whereas with traditional installation, it would have taken 2 weeks. We are very impressed with the speed and simplicity of the system.”
“I am very impressed with Cladiator materials. The slotted zee is lightweight, easy to install and removes the necessity for stick pins.(…) In the future, Cladiators will be my “first stop” when I shop.”
“I’m impressed and I think that this product will soon become standard in the inudstry”

How it works
What is the Rainscreen Principle?
The rainscreen principle is an effective approach to building envelope design, incorporating an air gap space that allows for drainage and ventilation, preventing moisture from penetrating the building’s interior. Within this gap, exterior insulation is typically installed to ensure continuous insulation of the building.
CLADIATOR® supports the rainscreen principle by providing ample cavity space, enhanced moisture management, and optional patented insulation securement with our ROCKETStick™. Our innovative technology minimizes penetrations to the water-resistant barrier, ensuring superior moisture protection. Choose CLADIATOR® for cutting-edge solutions and peace of mind in moisture management.
