Pipe penetrations through claddings
To correctly form and fit pipe penetrations is time consuming and expensive, but necessary to maintain weathertightness. The best solution is to avoid them but sometimes that isn’t possible.

Building failures
By Steve Alexander – 1 December 2007, Build 103, Feature article
Weathertightness issues are often thought to be limited to a certain type of house, built of a certain material, at a certain time. However Building Surveyors are seeing failures across all types of buildings.
Concealed guttering
By Robert Scott – 1 February 2008, Build 104
It may look good, but poorly designed or not maintained concealed guttering can result in major problems.
Minimising builders’ risk
By Greg Burn – 1 August 2010, Build 119
As a builder, there are things you can do to minimise your risk of being held responsible for the weathertightness failure of a building.
Remedying substandard original work
By Trevor Pringle – 1 August 2010, Build 119, Feature article
Undertaking weathertightness surveys may also identify other building work that needs to be done – some problems may only become evident after remedial work has begun.
Remediation of leaky buildings
By Trevor Pringle – 1 August 2012, Build 131
Designing solutions for weathertightness problems is a growth sector of the industry, yet it is an area many designers are unfamiliar with. What are the factors that need to be considered for this type of work?
BRANZ weathertightness poster
1 April 2004, Build 81
In the August/September 2002 edition of Build you would have received the BRANZ weathertightness poster. This column takes a detail from the poster and provides a ‘good practice’ solution to it.
Horizontal cladding joints
By Trevor Pringle – 1 August 2004, Build 83
For many cladding materials the horizontal joints are dealt with in the design of the cladding itself, e.g. weatherboards. This article is concerned about those claddings that need horizontal joints to accommodate movement or sheet size.
Sill flashings give extra protection for windows
By Tony Conder – 1 April 2005, Build 87
Why is it that windows fixed with claddings over a drained cavity don’t need a sill flashing, while direct-fixed claddings do?
The science behind details
By Stephen McNeil – 1 December 2016, Build 157, Feature article
Have you ever wondered why we detail or construct buildings the way we do? Many of the actions we take may seem second nature, but there is a great deal of science behind the basic details.
