Re: Rendered has covered all the weep holes 11Aug 25, 2024 1:59 pm I presume this wouldn't interfere with your termite/white ant protection system ? Re: Rendered has covered all the weep holes 12Aug 25, 2024 2:04 pm BuildingandLegal as3700 Section 4, Part 4.7, Clause 4.7.4 4.7.4 Single-leaf and solid walls Where the prevention of moisture penetration is required, external single-leaf walls and solid walls shall be protected on the outside face by a suitable weather-resistant coating (see Notes below). Where a coating is to be applied for the purpose of this Clause, all mortar joints shall be tooled and be free of cracks and holes, or the surface to be coated shall be bagged or rendered. The following weather-resistant coating systems are deemed to be satisfactory: (a) Three coats of 100% acrylic-based exterior quality paint. The first coat shall be worked thoroughly into the texture of the masonry by brush to ensure complete coverage of all voids and irregularities (see Note 1). (b) A first coat of waterproof cement paint, worked into the surface and over-coated with two coats of 100% acrylic-based paint (see Note 1). (c) Where the masonry texture and jointing are to be obscured, rendering with a proprietary cement-based high-build waterproof render, followed by an elastomeric acrylic polymer coating. (d) Clear water repellent coatings, provided there is a weatherproof overhang of not less than 1500 mm. NOTES: 1 For guidance on the painting of buildings, see AS/NZS 2311. 2 Regular maintenance of any coating should be in accordance with the manufacturerβs instructions to maintain the integrity of the weatherproofing. 3 The above coatings may also be used to protect the outer leaf and cavity space of a cavity wall (see Clause 5.4.2). Thanks Re: Rendered has covered all the weep holes 13Aug 25, 2024 2:07 pm Saint Mike I presume this wouldn't interfere with your termite/white ant protection system ? Have no clue . Just now spoke to my renderer and he said there were. No weep holes present otherwise he would hate left them there . Donβt know what to say and what not to . Did google that houses in 1970-80βs didnβt used to have weep holes . They came into building code in 1990 . So I am just so confused . But as above comment said weep holes are not needed if it waterproof paint . And we not on a slab , we have under house storage so hope that might help it . You are correct. Just read through all the ncc rules and 75mm is the minimum requirement for me. 4 18604 Thanks mate, is there a standard off the shelf type breathable product I can apply DIY? Thanks 2 16000 |
