The Best Solution for New ICC & Commercial Building Codes

The new ICC & Florida commercial building code effective January 1, 2020, requires that all new commercial buildings built with wood-based sheathing in climate zones 1A, 2A, or 3A are required to have a ventilated airspace between the stucco and water-resistive barrier.

The key to this code is ventilation, which is defined as the natural or mechanically induced movement of fresh air into or through an enclosed space.

AMICO’s HYDRODRY system is a perfect solution for this new building code. The HYDRODRY system can save you time and money while keeping you compliant with these new regulations. Learn more about the HYDRODRY system below!

HYDRODRY® is a proprietary self-draining, vented wall moisture control system that works by creating a defined drainage and ventilation cavity behind veneer stone, stucco, fiber cement and various other exterior claddings.

HYDRODRY® allows your exterior walls to drain and breathe to help protect the structure and air quality of your home – A dry home is a healthy home.

AMICO even won the Green Innovation of the Year Aware for their HYDRODRY product line.
