Maximum Moisture Management

HalfbackH20 features built-in moisture management grooves that allow bulk water to efficiently drain down the wall and away from the home.

Versatility

The flat face of HalfbackH20 makes it is versatile enough to be used with any kind of siding, including fiber cement, engineered wood, shakes, scallops, and stone.

Manages Water Vapor

An average household produces 4-6 gallons of water vapor inside daily. HalfbackH20 features a perm rating up to 3.5, allowing moisture to escape the home. This reduces the chance of mold and mildew growth, creating a healthier home and longer lasting siding.

HalfbackH20 does more than manage moisture.
