The Dryvit Direct Apply Cement Board MD system typically consists of the following components, as determined by specific code and performance requirements.
Dryvit Direct Apply Cement Board MD is an exterior finish system applied directly over approved sheathing substrates in residential and low-rise commercial applications, when continuous insulation is not specified or desired. Exterior cement boards meeting ASTM C1325, and fasteners (both by others) are applied over Dryvit MD Spacers™ and a Dryvit Backstop® NTX™ air/water-resistive barrier to facilitate moisture drainage throughout the assembly.
As part of the Dryvit family, this system can be completed in a wide variety of eye-catching colors, textures, and specialty finishes.
The Dryvit Direct-Applied Cement Board MD system incorporates Dryvit MD Spacers™, which work together with the air- and water-resistive barrier to facilitate efficient moisture drainage and prevent water build-up within the wall assembly.
Dryvit Direct-Applied Cement Board MD includes a liquid-applied, air- and water-resistive barrier for improved protection against air and water infiltration, enhancing the durability of buildings and reducing their long-term maintenance costs.
