Flashings – more than window dressing
By Mark Bassett – 1 December 2007, Build 103, Feature article
BRANZ recently completed research to understand the movement of air and water in the cavities around windows. This has provided new insight into alternative ways of managing water at the difficult junction between walls and windows.
Weathertightness and brick veneer cavities
By Trevor Pringle – 1 October 2008, Build 108
Brick veneer cavities have an important weathertightness function. Getting the detailing and construction of veneer claddings right is necessary to allow the water present to drain and dry.
Wall underlay installation
By Greg Burn – 1 August 2009, Build 113
Wall underlay plays an important role in the weathertightness of exterior wall assemblies in light timber-framed residential buildings, yet often it is poorly installed. Getting it right can be as simple as 1, 2, 3.
Eaves/soffit lining construction
By Alide Elkink – 1 October 2009, Build 114
Correct construction sequencing is needed to create a weathertight detail at the wall and eaves intersection for a low slope roof.
Precast becomes popular
By Nigel Isaacs – 1 February 2012, Build 128
Advances in technology in the 20th century saw concrete’s use as a building material flourish. This was also the case in New Zealand where, as the demand for precast grew, homegrown products were developed.
On-site framing treatment
By Tony Conder – 1 October 2013, Build 138, Feature article
A study into the on-site treatment of undamaged framing in leaky buildings has come up with several practices to follow when treating timber members.
Getting the sequence right
By Trevor Pringle – 1 April 2004, Build 81
If work is carried out too early or too quickly it may have to be removed to allow another trade to complete their part, adding costs and delays to the job. Getting the sequence right is crucial for a good job.
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.
Long-stop period clarified
By Karen Shaw – 1 December 2015, Build 151
Claims against faulty building work need to be brought within a 10-year long-stop period. Recent court cases have clarified how this defence applies to design work and product manufacturers and suppliers.
