Rain, mould and swelling can take hold fast and lead to costly delays and rectification works. Take that well-earned break knowing your build is protected with water resistive, 180-day UV-stable Pro Clima wraps.
As construction sites across Australia shut down for the Christmas and New Year period, a break can be a risky time for partially complete builds.
If timber frames and other moisture sensitive building materials are left exposed to the elements, it can lead to costly replacement of material and extended delays to allow for frames to dry to an acceptable moisture content.
Clock off with confidence
Take time to protect your jobs with 6-month UV-stable Pro Clima SOLITEX MENTO and SOLITEX EXTASANA breathable and weather resistive barriers before the end-of-year break and come back to work on the right (dry) foot.
Investing a few extra hours before the break to properly wrap the frame and roof with tested and robust Pro Clima systems can prevent months of headaches afterward.
Why protect your frames over the break?
As you know, timber is a natural material that readily absorbs moisture. When rainwater seeps into unprotected frames, it can cause:
- Swelling and warping: Moisture changes the dimensions of structural timber, leading to misaligned frames and fixing issues later.
- Mould growth: Damp timber becomes an ideal environment for mould and mildew, which can compromise both the structural integrity and health standards of the build.
- Delays and rework: Before work can continue, wet timber often needs to be dried, cleaned, or replaced. This can lead to unforeseen costs at the expense of the builder.
Protect and speed up the build process
TASS Architecture & Construction in Sydney recently switched to Pro Clima to wrap and protect their custom-built homes and speed up the build. Hear what Construction Manager, Will Harding, has to say and why it’s paid off.
