DC14 Drainage Mat is a practical, economical method to handle water that penetrates exterior cladding. With drainage channels on both sides, it permits easy drainage for water and allows air movement between the siding and sheathing to help keep the wall dry. Because DC14 is made of extruded polystyrene (XPS), it has high moisture resistance and is not a food source for mold. The board is effective with fiber cement siding, wood siding, and foam-backed vinyl siding. It is ideal for drainage and drying behind stucco and stone veneers.
