LEAKY HOME FACT
In the early 90s, the leaky building scandal exposed the devastating effects of compromised cement-based plasters and lightweight claddings.
Many buildings that were constructed utilising a combination of plaster cladding and untreated timber frames were found to be leaky buildings and required extensive repair. Timber-framed houses shrink and swell as moisture content fluxes in response to daily and seasonal changes. If there is water ingress, you may deal with mould and rot that can compromise your building and health.
Did You know
Did you know that cement-based plasters and rigid cladding sheets can’t flex? This means that cracks can and often occur at critical cladding joints. Since the cladding is directly fixed to the timber framing, cracking generally occurs at the join. Compromised plaster at these junctions opens up a direct path for moisture to reach the timber framing of your building; this is what is generally referred to as a leaky building.
