Rainscreen R4 Aluminium Cladding Substructure

Introducing Rainscreen R4 Cladding – MUSKITA’s next-generation aluminium building envelope solution engineered for superior thermal efficiency and long-lasting durability. Rainscreen R4 combines cutting-edge materials with an innovative design to create an advanced double-layer barrier that shields your building from the elements, enhancing both performance and aesthetics.

The R4 system is designed with an optimized air cavity that allows for exceptional ventilation, ensuring that any moisture that penetrates the outer layer quickly dissipates, preventing water damage and mold. Made from high-quality aluminium, the Rainscreen R4 delivers an impressive balance of lightweight substructure and strength, making it versatile for both residential and commercial applications. Its sleek, modular grid design also allows for seamless integration into a variety of architectural styles.

Technical Features & Solutions
  • Quick & Easy Installation: It is the only system that offers a 3-axis adjustment mechanism which allows precise control over each panel’s position and orientation, ensuring perfect fine-tuned alignment, levelness, and fit during installation.
  • Cladding Materials: Rainscreen R4 is adaptable and can accommodate a variety of materials such as aluminium composite panels, aluminium panels, GRC lookalike, ceramics, marble or stone. 
  • Energy Savings: Rainscreen R4 allows for the continuous circulation of air between the building and exterior cladding system. Temperature differences create a "chimney effect" in the cavity, where warm air rises in summer, refreshing the space with cooler air. In winter, the cooler air remains in the cavity, helping to retain indoor warmth. This natural convection prevents overheating in summer and supports a steady, comfortable temperature in winter, improving building energy efficiency.
  • Prevents Condensation & Humidity: This façade system minimizes condensation and humidity from both inside and outside the building. Continuous airflow within the cavity acts as an additional protective layer, effectively removing any moisture that may infiltrate through the cladding joints.
  • Enhances Façade Longevity: Continuous ventilation within the air cavity extends the life of exterior cladding by keeping it dry, enhancing lasting resilience and performance.
  • Minimizes Structural Movement: The air cavity helps stabilize temperatures within the building envelope, reducing the risk of cracks and other structural issues. By preventing extreme temperature fluctuations, the structure is less prone to expansion and contraction, enhancing overall durability.
  • Enhances Thermal & Acoustic Insulation: The Rainscreen R4 Cladding  system significantly boosts both thermal and acoustic performance, reducing building noise levels, while also eliminating thermal bridges, further enhancing energy efficiency and comfort.
  • Minimum Maintenance: Rainscreen R4 Cladding requires virtually zero maintenance, particularly when using  high quality cladding material.
