A rainscreen is a wall assembly.

Match the cladding profile, clip, fixing and support. A decking clip detail does not establish how siding attaches to a wall.

Four systems. Different details.

  • DeckWise 1X: aluminum standoff, direct to sheathing, perpendicular screw.
  • DeckWise 5/4: stainless clip on furring, primary angled screw plus a board attachment for specified orientations.
  • Original Viking: furring-based system; exact profile and fastener submittal needed.
  • VC2: separately described no-batten system; do not reuse the original Viking dimensions.

Folded stainless clip engages the profiled siding. Furring provides the ventilation cavity; the wall layers are modeled separately.

  • Furring extent and cropped wall context
  • Current production profile and tolerances remain pending

Supplied production fit: pending. A recognizable model does not change the compatibility result. The board shown explains a manufacturer interface, not approved Ipe Woods milling.

A · Verified technical model — Geometry from approved CAD or dimensional drawings; only verified dimensions are displayed.

B · Reference reconstructed — Source-faithful visual model. Inferred details are recorded and unverified manufacturing dimensions are withheld.

TECHNICAL MODEL / VERIFICATION GATE

Manufacturer evidence & supplied-fit review

Reference reconstructions explain the documented mechanism. Their inferred details are labeled separately; matching the actual supplied board, accessory SKU and current instructions remains a separate review.

Verification pending — nominal size does not establish engagement.
Published screw configuration
Published instruction: #8 × 2-inch stainless T15 trim-head. Verify exact kit alloy and support penetration separately from the 304 clip.

DeckWise 5/4 uses its own profiled siding, clip and furring relationship. Its geometry is separate from 1X.

DeckWise official CAD archive · Board-profile source of truth

Manufacturer installation evidence, manufacturer geometry and supplied production fit are independent verification states. No generated image establishes any of them.

Keep flashing, weather-barrier penetrations, drainage, ventilation and wall-load design in the project detail. A clip category alone establishes none of these.

4 systems. Results include restrictions; open the record to see the actual claim.

Rainscreen · DeckWise

DeckWise 1X Rainscreen

An aluminum standoff clip that attaches directly over structural wood sheathing.

Material scope
Product page names Ipe, Cumaru, Garapa and Western Red Cedar with the required siding profile.
First check
The product is described for 3/4-inch siding, but the linked cutter drawing labels .700-inch thickness. Confirm the approved supplied profile; do not reconcile these values by assumption.

Rainscreen · DeckWise

DeckWise 5/4 Hidden Siding

A 304 stainless clip system on furring, with a separate through-board fixing for certain orientations.

Material scope
Hardwood siding with the specified 15/16-inch actual profile. A species-by-species approval list is not given on the reviewed product page.
First check
Do not substitute the aluminum 1X clip or its no-furring detail. Separate starter clips are used here.

Rainscreen · Viking Clip

Viking Clip — original

The original aluminum rainscreen clip works with vertical furring and a matching siding profile.

Material scope
System literature offers domestic and tropical species; those offerings are not approval of every board sold under the same name.
First check
The original Viking Clip needs furring. VC2 is the separately described no-batten option.
Species, dimensions & installation ↗

Rainscreen · Viking Clip

Viking Clip 2 / VC2

A distinct no-batten rainscreen option; original Viking dimensions and schedules cannot be transferred.

Material scope
A wood rainscreen system. Species-level VC2 approval and an exact profile match have not been established from a current technical submittal.
First check
The system owner distinguishes VC2 from the original clip by its no-batten mounting concept.

Read the fine print

Same wood. Different clip. Different answer.

DeckWise’s chart distinguishes species and drying condition. “Listed” is a conditional manufacturer listing, not approval of your supplied board or assembly.
