BUILDING PAPERS

Our Breather Membrane is a spun bonded polypropylene material developed primarily for domestic or commercial wall construction. Proctor Wrap affords effective protection for the life of the building against rain, snow and dust. Proctor Wrap is a highly durable, strong and lightweight textile membrane that is silent when exposed to wind and will last the lifetime of the building even in corrosive coastal environments. Unlike foil products, the high water vapour permeability of Proctor Wrap HP allows for the controlled escape of water vapour from within the building whilst restricting the ingress of moisture. Proctor Wrap HP will help protect the building fabric and insulation from condensation and related problems such as mould, timber rot, corrosion and loss of thermal resistance.

ROOF SHIELD PAPER

Roofshield is a three layer laminate designed to combine water hold out properties with high breathability. The central layer is a fine-fibred melt blown material which differs from other breather membranes on the market. This unique central layer provides a fibrous structure which allows for a much higher breathability than other laminates which may include films. These small fibres give increased water hold out over spunbond single layer products and afford a number of advantages. Domestic

STRUCTURAL SIPS SCREWS

The SIPS screws are a specialized, flat head fastener engineered for a wide range of panel applications including Structural Insulated Panels, and can be used in wood, corrugated and structural steel substrates. Coating OMG CR-10 corrosion resistant coating exhibits less than 15% red rust after 30 Kesternich cycles. R-10 coating exceeds F.M. Approval Standard 4470. Technical Selected SIP screws allow for the recommended penetration or embedment and take into account the total build up dimension of the Insulated Panel. The tread length of each screw is 70mm Recommended minimum fastener penetration: Steel decking or purlins 0.7 to 1.6mm thick Plywood decking, 18mm minimum thickness Timber decking 25mm minimum thickness Timber Joists 15mm through 12mm through 12mm through 35mm embedment

EXTERNAL CLADDING OPTIONS

There are many different types of cladding available on the market and many new ideas on product application. Below is a list of cladding options. A ventilated cavity of minimum 15mm should be allowed between any cladding option and external wall panels.

7.1

TIMBER

Timber clad buildings can be designed to suit any environment, the possibilities are almost limitless. Its natural sound dampening properties also help keep noise out of buildings and reduce reflected noise in confined outdoor spaces. Modern finishes give a long lasting and attractive appearance to timber cladding and can be used to change the colour and style of a timber clad building. Most timber cladding options are environmentally responsible. Suppliers include Weathertex and Carter Holt Harvey.

7.2

FIBRE CEMENT SHEETS

Fibre cement sheets are a good option for a base to render to. This type of product helps resist stresses and strains caused by wind and weather. Rendering over the cement boards is the least resistant to damage and is vulnerable to hard hits. It's durable for 25 years and beyond, provided all manufacturers guidelines are strictly adhered to. Suppliers include CSR and James Hardie.

7.3

STEEL

External steel cladding is available in a range of colours and plain or textured finishes. Steel sheet cladding products has a specially baked coating to reduce maintenance and avoid fading. Some steel claddings have been especially designed to withstand Australian weather conditions and to render a high degree of resistance to corrosion offering a long lasting exterior facade. Suppliers include Colourbond, Zincalume, Stratco, Bluescope Steel.

7.4

BLOCK OR BRICK

By their very nature concrete blocks or clay bricks are very low maintenance and can be used as a base for a render finish. Maintenance of rendered concrete block or brick walls is basically limited to just hosing the wall down with the garden hose if they look dusty. Blocks or bricks used in traditional double leaf have poor R Ratings and a high thermal mass, creating the need for expensive heating and cooling of a building by mechanical means. When brick or block is used to clad a SIPS building the thermal properties of the SIPS will eliminate or dramatically reduce thermal influx to a building, in turn, reducing the requirement for mechanical means of heating and cooling the building. Suppliers include Midland, Boral and Australbrick.
