Rain Screen Benefits for Hill Country Homeowners
When you’re building a home in the Texas Hill Country, it’s about more than choosing the right layout or finishes. It’s about building something that will last. That’s why we take every step we can to protect your home, starting with what’s behind the walls.
One of the simplest and most important ways we do that is by installing a rain screen.
What Is a Rain Screen?
In this part of Texas, stucco is a popular choice for exteriors. It looks beautiful and works well in our climate, but it also holds moisture. After it rains, that water doesn’t just disappear. The sun comes out, heats the wall, and the moisture trapped behind the surface needs somewhere to go.
A rain screen is a small layer that goes behind your exterior materials, such as stucco, stone, or siding, and provides a path for moisture to escape. It creates just enough space for air to flow and water to move out and away from your home. Without it, water can stay trapped in your walls, leading to long-term damage or mold growth.
Why It Matters in the Hill Country
Here in the Hill Country, we see quick weather changes. A warm day can follow a stormy night, and that shift can put a lot of pressure on your home’s exterior. Having a rain screen helps manage that moisture before it becomes a bigger problem.
It’s not something you see once the home is finished, but it’s one of the many small details we include to help protect your home from the inside out. Peace of mind matters, especially when it comes to where you live.
Rain screens are a simple, affordable addition during the building process. And while they don’t take much time or money to install, they go a long way in helping your home stay dry, healthy, and strong.
At Texas Living Homes, we include details like this because we care about the long-term comfort and safety of the families we build for. Every home we build is something we stand behind, and we want you to feel good knowing it’s protected from the very start.
