Innovative Products: AeroNet Compression Resistant Ventilation Mat

Benjamin Obdyke’s revolutionary new rolled matrix solution.
July 22, 2025

AeroNet, a new ventilation mat from Benjamin Obdyke, is a lightweight and superior rainscreen solution. Redefining airflow and drainage, AeroNet ditches the industry standard or entangled matrix rainscreens and underlayments for a simplified and revolutionary system, creating an air gap between the roof and wall material.

This rolled matrix solution came about through years of testing, experimenting, and gathering feedback from real users. AeroNet’s rainscreen technology provides superior compression-resistance while remaining flexible. The lightweight, flexible design allows for quick and simple installation, as well as a maximized drying potential of the wall/roof system. AeroNet is made for under wood, composite, and metal siding and roofing and can withstand UV exposure for up to 120 days.

The dual application of AeroNet on the wall/roof eliminates the need for multiple products, as well as saves time and labor costs by removing the need for furring strips. AeroNet integrates perfectly with Benjaman Obdyke housewraps, roofing underlayments, and flashing to create a complete weatherization system.
