Tighter buildings are more energy efficient but are also less forgiving when moisture gets into the assembly.

So, the question isn't just, “How do we keep water out?” It’s also, “What happens if water gets in? Where does it go? And how does the assembly dry?”

Our blog post looks at:
🔹 Why older buildings were more forgiving of moisture
🔹 How tighter assemblies change moisture management
🔹 Why drainage and ventilation matter
🔹 How rainscreen systems create pathways for water and airflow
🔹 Why building envelope components need to work together as a system
🔹 What should be considered during design

You can’t assume moisture will never get into an assembly. Good design plans for what happens when it does.

Read the full article to learn why better drying starts with better building envelope design.

Columbus architects, your October 27th just got better.

The Full Assembly is coming to town on Tuesday, October 27 with a full day of continuing education followed by a few hours of Topgolf.

The education portion includes three LU/HSW credits covering:
• Multifamily noise control
• Building envelope performance
• Masonry moisture management

Sessions are led by Keene Building Products experts and regional partners who work with these systems in the real world.

Then at 2:00, the classroom gives way to the golf bays with drinks, golf, and conversation on us!

Come for the credits. Stay for the golf. Leave knowing something you didn't when you arrived.

Cedar shakes and shingles have been protecting buildings for hundreds of years. But behind the finished surface, the assembly still must manage moisture, drainage, and ventilation.

Our ViperVent® CDR drainage and ventilation mat creates a continuous airspace behind cedar shakes and shingles, providing a path for drainage and ventilation within the assembly.

And we’ll be talking cedar, moisture, and what happens behind the surface in Chicago for the 2026 Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau (CSSB) Annual Tradeshow, starting tomorrow.

Does your stucco wall have a drainage system?

A drainage cavity isn't the whole story. Neither is a weep screed by itself.

For stucco assemblies, the drainage plane and the weep screed must work together as part of a continuous path for incidental moisture.

Our latest blog post breaks down the 2021 IRC code requirements, the two drainage compliance paths, and why the connection between the drainage plane and the wall's discharge point matters.

Water doesn't care what's on your specification sheet - it follows the path you give it.

It was a pretty good reason to step away from our desks!

The Keene Building Products team recently got together to celebrate the opening of our new Training Center in Euclid.

There was plenty to see, plenty to talk about, and a great opportunity to check out our building envelope solutions on display, like Driwall Rainscreen 020 and Drainable Housewrap behind the stone and fiber cement exterior cladding.

Architecture isn't just about how a building looks. It's about how it handles water, weather, moisture, movement, and everything else the real world throws at it.

That means the details matter, the materials matter, and what happens after the plans are created matters, too.

Keene Building Products works with architects and building professionals to help turn design intent into building assemblies that perform in the real world.

A well-designed building isn't just about how it looks. It's about how it performs.

We make a lot of products most people never see.

They go behind brick.
Behind stucco.
Behind stone.
Under roofing.
Inside wall assemblies.

Good building products don't need to be noticed…they need to do their job.

This Manufacturing Day, we're celebrating the people who make the products that help buildings manage moisture, drain, dry and perform for the long haul.

Cedar shake and shingle systems have been protecting buildings for generations. But like any exterior assembly, they must deal with moisture, drainage and ventilation.

That’s why Keene Building Products is now a member of the Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau (CSSB).

For more than 100 years, Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau has helped advance the knowledge, education, and standards behind cedar shake and shingle roofing and sidewall systems. We’re looking forward to being part of the community and talking about what happens behind the cedar.

Our ViperVent® CDR drainage and ventilation mat creates a continuous airspace behind cedar shakes and shingles, helping provide a path for drainage and ventilation within the assembly.

We’ll be at the 2026 CSSB Annual Trade Show & AGM, October 14–15 in Chicago.
Come talk cedar. Come talk moisture. Come talk about what happens behind the surface.
