CONSTRUCTION GUIDE FOR CAVITY WALL CLADDING SYSTEMS MAY 2015
Cemintel™ Cladding systems utilises various board and panel products to provide attractive and durable building façades.
Ensuring the weather tightness of these systems is the result of ongoing research, testing and development. This guide
outlines the general methods for construction of Ventilated and Drained Cavity Framing for Cemintel™ Façade Systems.

CONTACT DETAILS 44
A ventilated and drained cavity or “Rainscreen” is an
open jointed, rear-ventilated (vented primarily at the head
and base) cladding system. These systems reduce the
risk of moisture entering the cavity by means of pressure
equalisation. Any water which does enter will be effectively
drained away, or evaporate due to the constant airflow
throughout the cavity.
Direct Fix System with Face Sealing

In many Australian residential applications, cladding is fixed
directly to the frame. A degree of sealing is required at
joints and gaps to prevent water ingress. Although not as
effective as ventilated and drained cavity systems, direct fix
systems can be an effective means of weatherproofing low
risk buildings, i.e., in low rise buildings in low wind pressure
areas.
Unique System
A unique system uses methods or a combination of methods
of achieving weatherproofing other than described above.

zones. Refer to Table 8 for product suitability. when exposed to a fire source are required to have a Fire
Rating Level (FRL). Walls may include:
Bushfire zone walls also require specific treatments such
as mesh coverings at wall head, base, all gaps, eaves • External walls within a Bushfire Attack Level - Flame
and junctions with roofs, etc., to ensure appropriate fire Zone (BAL-FZ),
and ember resistance. Refer to the BCA and AS3959 for • External walls to Class 1 buildings within 900mm of the

Also refer to the publication Bushfire Roofing Systems • External walls adjacent an external fire source (such as
Design Guide for assistance with roofing designs – available an Electrical Sub-Station).
at www. bradfordinsulation.com.au. Cemintel™ systems are available to achieve various FRLs.

FIRE RATED WALL INSTALLATION

In addition to the standard structural framing, fire rated
systems require battens to be fixed to the face of studs in
accordance with the details for Drained Cavity Systems
provided in this guide.
It is important to maintain the ventilation at the head and base

of walls, but also to reduce the risk of ember penetration.
All joints in the external surface material of walls shall be
covered, sealed, overlapped, backed or butt-jointed to
prevent gaps greater than 3mm. Vents in external walls shall
be screened with a mesh with a maximum aperture of 2mm,
made of corrosion-resistant steel or bronze, except where
they are less than 3mm.
Refer to the BCA and AS3959 for additional requirements

and further details.
