Rainscreens:
CCA
  • advantages are: cheap, moderately corrosive, readily available
  • disadvantages are: uses a process that includes arsenic, which is poisonous. However it is only leached out of the wood when it gets wet, which should not happen when on the wall with properly installed siding and trims.
Borate
  • advantages are: cheap, mildly corrosive, available
  • disadvantages: treatment can be washed away with water. Again, this shouldn’t be a problem when siding is installed properly.
ACQ
  • advantages: treatment not poisonous, doesn’t wash away.
  • disadvantages: EXTREMELY corrosive! Stainless only in contact with this. Also, this is not as cheap as CCA, coupled with the increase in fastener costs. Also, this is not always readily available.
Raindog Siding clips (vinyl siding only)
 
  • advantages: increased wind load resistance, ease of installation, cheapest, higher percentage Rainscreen cavity (more cross ventilation), non corrosive, non poisonous.
  • disadvantages: New product that can make municipalities nervous.
