This determination is concerned with the compliance of a panel facade cladding system used in the recladding of two apartments at the top of a multi-level building. Due to its height, the building fell outside the scope of the Accetable Solution and Verification Method, and the determination considered the effect of wind pressures likely to be imposed on the cladding system.

This determination considers the compliance of a replacement façade system to an existing 5-storey building. The facade system incorporates high-pressure laminate panels fixed to an aluminium frame creating a 50mm wide cavity between the panels and the lined timber-framed wall behind. The authority has concerns about the facade system’s ability to perform with respect to preventing the spread of fire over the external cladding. The determination considers the compliance of the original facade system, and as modified in response to the determination’s initial findings.

This determination considers whether a roof cladding system as installed on a house complies with Building Code Clause E2 External moisture.
