Is a rainscreen required under Everlast and similar sidings?

monkeyman9 | Posted in General Questions on

Everlast and similar sidings interlock and don’t have built in vents like vinyl siding.  Is a rainscreen required behind them? Is a drainable house wrap like Benjamin Obdyke Hydrogap or Tyvek Drainwrap good enough?

J channels is directing water behind these sidings.

    I have the same question for insulated vinyl siding. Are these really back vented?

    Everlast must be installed over a flat surface according to their installation manual.
