Module 1 - Project Task 1.

3 - Wall Systems

Part A

Reference –Project No.43324 - ELEVATION B - Ground Floor Plan

Reference - The wall has been specified as needing 9kN of Bracing. No bracing has
been installed.
Reference – 9kN/m wind force

 Timber window frames require flashings under the sill to stop water migrating to the inside
wall linings. Side flashing is also necessary to prevent water migrating to the back of the
stiles. Some manufacturers provide a groove in the stile in which to tuck the flashing.

When the head of a window may be exposed to weather, such as a window in a gable wall,
the head of the window needs to be flashed to stop any water getting in.

Jambs and heads must be plumb and level. The edges should be adjusted to ensure they
are flush with the interior wall lining. When allowing for 10 mm plasterboard internal lining, a
good quality folding rule can be used. Most are 10 mm thick and so are ideal to use as a
gauge when setting a frame in position

Refer page 207

sarking will need to be used behind the timber cladding or under the flooding material to
waterproof and to direct water that might penetrated the cladding back to the outside
structure.
