Teulo Ed: Waterproofing, Weathertightness, and Airtightness.

10:15am - 11.15am | Omega Windows and Doors

Alex’s session explores how weathertightness underpins thermal performance in high-performing buildings, with a focus on correct window and door installation. He covers key building code requirements, common testing methods, and simple on-site checks, while highlighting how poor installation and building movement can compromise both thermal resilience and weathertightness.

Learning Outcomes:

• How does weathertightness contribute to a high performance thermally broken system.
• What are some easy to spot issues on site? 
• How should a window be installed, so as to not detract from the thermal performance and weathertightness in a building.
• Different forms of weathertightness testing and compliance, both lab based and onsite.  Also how seismic/ building movements can affect weathertightness integrity.

Designing for Durability: The critical role of drainage in below-ground structures and waterproofing performance.

Synopsis: In this CPD webinar Chris Ross will explore the vital role of drainage for below-ground waterproofing systems, how drainage design influences the long-term performance of waterproofing and why it's essential for managing hydrostatic pressure.

We will also provide an update on Allco's CodeMark-certified products, discuss the implications of the Overseas Building Products Amendment Bill and how specifiers can stay compliant and informed.

Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the importance of drainage in below-ground design and how to apply it effectively.
• Gain clarity on hydrostatic pressure - what it is, how to design for it and when it is acceptable in a building design.
• Allco’s Codemark-certified products.
• Understand the impact of regulatory changes on overseas building products and the impact for waterproofing
