Hello All, Little late to this topic, but have read through everyones' posts! - I recently bought the open rainscreen cladding (RW014) Thermopine from Russwood. I was initially going to buy Abodo timber closed profile but due the Suez Canal hold up and (tbh) the price I decided to opt for the treated Pine. The joiners had put on the foil back Tyvek on the sheathing thinking it was going to be a closed face, however I told them I had bought the open rainscreen therefore were concerned about seeing the foil from through the gap. So last week I bought black Vent 3 Breather membrane and took my time to neatly cover/strap up a secondary membrane over the Tyvek. This wasn't their only concern.They were unhappy about the open rainscreen, concerned about water ingress through the 8mm gap and essentially eventual damage to the kit, also bugs etc. I had spoken to Russwood and Trada about their thoughts on the open ventilated cladding and if there would be a major issue to which both were happy with, but I find myself either over thinking/ worried that I will regret this in a year or so. I guess I could fork out for other cladding and try sell what I have, try to create a closed face(board on board), or keep it and be content. Can anyone give any thoughts ?
