CPD content and what to expect
Whether your rainscreen cladding material is timber, metal or a composite material, having the option to run your cladding material seamlessly to the vertical walls, and pitched roof surfaces, enables both bold creativity and understated simplicity in design. This CPD is not about the multitude of cladding material options that are available. The time is used to focus on the structure, waterproofing and detailing that is so necessary to get right if your creative design is to become reality.
We will look at the issues relating to the roof build-up, waterproofing layer, insulation, structural connection and cladding support options along with propriety systems that answer the challenges raised. A full set of slides and note along with a certificate of attendance will be provided after the presentation.
