West Bay Contractors Inc. specializes in the installation of rainscreen cladding systems for residential and commercial projects. Rainscreen is a system of building where an air cavity is created behind the cladding. This space is ventilated naturally with ambient air, evacuating accumulated heat and humidity and allowing for drainage and evaporation. Keeping moisture away from the wall assembly and channeling it to the outside of the wall helps reduce thermal movement and results in increased energy efficiency and 20% – 30% savings on energy costs. Rainscreen is a sustainable solution for both refurbishment and new building projects that aligns well with modern methods of construction. It offers both contemporary and flexible design options and versatility in the construction process.
We are one of the few Bay Area companies certified in rainscreen installation. We understand the complexities of the modern installation of cladding systems as well as sub framing attachment structures. As certified cladding installers we work in interior and exterior facades using traditional to modern materials such as fiber cement, composite, aluminum, resin and metal panels. Cladding facade systems are available for a wide range of building types and include both open joint and close envelope cladding systems. We provide engineered documents and a full guarantee of material and installation.
