1. A vented and water control system, comprising:
- a first exterior cladding panel; and
a second exterior cladding panel overlapping the first exterior cladding panel in a non-coplanar relation;
each of the first and second exterior cladding panels configured to be mounted at a wall of a structure in an installed configuration and composed of glass fiber reinforced plastic having a front surface, a back surface, and an omnidirectional relief pattern integral with the back surface and defined by a plurality of elements that form an omnidirectional ventilation and drainage plane between the wall and the back surface in the installed configuration; and
a non-structural finish layer located on each said exterior cladding panel.

Abstract
A vented and water control paneling has improved drainage and integrated ventilation air space. The water control paneling may be fabricated with an omnidirectional relief pattern formed on its back surface. The relief pattern spaces the vented and water control paneling away from a structure to which it is secured, thereby providing an omnidirectional drainage plane between the back surface of the paneling and the structure. The omnidirectional drainage plane provides an unimpeded ventilation and drainage path of water and/or water vapor.
