Benjamin Obdyke Slicker Classic Rainscreen, 39.37 in. x 46.5 ft. Roll, Yellow
This is a roll of Benjamin Obdyke Slicker Classic rainscreen, a 39.37 in. x 46.5 ft. yellow drainage matrix installed behind siding. Its vertically-channeled 3D matrix creates a continuous drainage and drying space, a thermal break and pressure equalization behind the cladding. One roll covers roughly 152 sq. ft. of wall; fasten siding per the manufacturer's spacing guidance.
Key Features:
- Continuous Drainage: A three-dimensional matrix provides a continuous space for drainage and drying behind siding.
- Patented Vertical Channels: Patented vertical channels direct bulk water out of the wall assembly.
- Thermal Break: Adds a thermal break and pressure equalization between the sheathing and the cladding.
- Stops Trapped Moisture: Eliminates the threat of trapped moisture behind siding.
- Formerly HomeSlicker: This is the product formerly known as HomeSlicker.
- Wide Roll Format: Comes on a 39.37 in. x 46.5 ft. roll for quick wall coverage.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
A rainscreen is one of the most cost-effective durability upgrades for siding, especially over absorptive sheathing or in wet climates. Keep the channels vertical so gravity and pressure differences move water down and out of the cavity. For projects subject to the Canadian 10mm cavity requirement, specify Slicker 10 Classic instead of this standard version.
Follow the siding manufacturer's fastening requirements, since fastener length must penetrate through the rainscreen into framing or sheathing.
Add Benjamin Obdyke Slicker Classic rainscreen to your next siding project for built-in drainage protection.
