Nova USA Wood Products Inc. has expanded its line of rainscreen siding clips with its ExoClad QuickClip designed with 6/6 ballistic-grade nylon. Lightweight and easy to handle, the clip is resistant to abrasions, dampens noise and offers enhanced thermal-bridging properties, which can reduce energy costs by minimizing the amount of heat transferred through the building envelope. Natural wood siding is likely to expand and contract as a result of seasonal changes in humidity. ExoClad QuickClip responds naturally by compressing to absorb the expansion. When the wood dries out, the hidden fastener system’s design automatically moves the boards into place, centered perfectly and securely fastened to the side of the structure. The fastening system is suited for hardwood and softwood siding.
