Left to continue unabated, it can cause ongoing problems.</li><li>Efflorescence occurs when moisture moves through substrate, transporting minerals salts with it and leaving a deposit of crusty white mineral salts. The moisture either needs to be blocked or exhausted to prevent efflorescence from taking place.</li></ul> | | [[3 Resources/Areas/Balconies.md\|Balconies]] \ [[3 Resources/Building Elements/Facade.md\|Facade]] [[3 Resources/Issues/Facade Cladding Finish Height.md\|Facade Cladding Finish Height]] | <ul><li>Often the FC cladding is brought down just above the finished height of the concrete.</li><li>This leaves little space to inspect the membrane, sarking and that junction.</li><li>Ideally, the cladding should finish just below the finished height of any pedestal pavers on the balcony.</li></ul> | | [[3 Resources/Areas/Facade.md\|Facade]] \ [[3 Resources/Building Elements/Facade.md\|Facade]] [[3 Resources/Issues/Fire Doors Located in External Areas.md\|Fire Doors Located in External Areas]] | <ul><li>from time to time fire doors need to be located in areas that have a high exposure to wind and rain.</li><li>Fire Doors being made from timber will always rot in these circumstances.</li><li>Every effort must be made to protect any fire doors which are installed in these circumstances, this includes metal edging around the doors and adding an awning to the frame.</li><li>Further these doors need to provided with heavy duty door closers as they will be subject to higher forces, recommend using the DormaKaba TS93G Push side Door Closer.</li></ul> | | [[3 Resources/Areas/Facade.md\|Facade]] \ [[3 Resources/Building Elements/Facade.md\|Facade]] [[3 Resources/Issues/Intumescent Cavity Barriers.md\|Intumescent Cavity Barriers]] | <ul><li>Intumescent Cavity Barriers are not an NCC requirements but they make a big difference to the performance of a rain screen façade in a fire event.</li><li>Intumescent cavity barriers should be used wherever a rain screen façade is installed.</li><li>These are a recommendation which has come from the State Governments [Project Remediate Pattern Book](https://www.nsw.gov.au/departments-and-agencies/building-commission/replace-flammable-cladding-through-project-remediate/pattern-book).</li><li>Here is a further link explaining how these work: [SIDERISE CAVITY BARRIERS](https://tfire.com.au/documents/Article_Cavity_Barrier_and_their_application_here_in_Australia)</li></ul> | | [[3 Resources/Areas/External Areas.md\|External Areas]] \ [[3 Resources/Building Elements/Facade.md\|Facade]] [[3 Resources/Issues/Un-designed Facade Attachments.md\|Un-designed Facade Attachments]] | <ul><li>Architects may include details on the façade such as fins, awnings, louvres.</li><li>The Architectural drawings do not indicate how these Elements are to be fixed.</li><li>As they are in high risk areas, it is important that these are all checked by the Project's Façade Engineer.</li></ul> | | [[3 Resources/Areas/External Areas.md\|External Areas]] \ [[3 Resources/Building Elements/Facade.md\|Facade]] [[3 Resources/Issues/Thermal Breaks Required per NCC2022.md\|Thermal Breaks Required per NCC2022]] | <ul><li>As per NCC2022, thermal breaks are now required in lightweight external walls to improve their thermal performance.</li></ul> | | [[3 Resources/Areas/Everywhere.md\|Everywhere]] \ [[3 Resources/Building Elements/Facade.md\|Facade]] [[3 Resources/Issues/Waterproofing Undrained Cavities in Facade Systems.md\|Waterproofing Undrained Cavities in Facade Systems]] | <ul><li>Façade systems comprise many components, these include</li><li>Windows</li><li>Waterproofing</li><li>Rain screen Cladding</li><li>Brick Veneer</li><li>Sliding Doors</li><li>At the junctions between these elements, it is very common to see the creation of a cavity in the system which is not draining.</li><li>Whilst it may be unlikely that water will get into these cavities, if the cavity is undrained, the water in these areas can build up over time leading to adverse outcomes to the building.</li></ul> | %% DATAVIEW_PUBLISHER: end %%
