4. How it works

Val?ron VortecTM EVDTM Drainage system presents a innovative solution to a common building element, the building wrap. Traditional building wrap provides a water resistant barrier underneath the cladding but in order for it to drain water away safely a cavity needs to be constructed. This is not the case with Val?ron VortecTM EVDTM, as its specially engineered ,3 dimensional surface creates a airspace between the framing and cladding allowing moisture to drain therefore eliminating the need for cavity battens.
