The recent updates to the Livable Housing Design Standard by the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) introduced new requirements for certain builds. One key requirement is the mandatory installation of a reinforced, robust backing board with a minimum of 12 mm thickness behind plasterboard in areas around the toilet, shower and bath to support the safe installation of grabrails at a later date. Frame and truss suppliers are offering STRUCTApanel 12mm as it’s emerging as a superior alternative to plywood that not only meets but exceeds the necessary standards. This innovative panel offers a combination of strength, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness that makes it the ideal choice for builders.

Saint-Gobain Weber UK & Ireland has released a free guide on how to incorporate render and traditional decorative finishes into modern methods of construction (MMC). The new ‘Guide to Renders and Decorative Finishes for MMC’ explains how pre-manufactured value (PMV) is attained and gives an overview of the most common types of MMC and materials, as well as the different finishes that can be used with these methods of construction. One area where it’s easy to specify a PMV-improving element is using modern alternatives to traditional brickwork, and weberwall brick, which provides a realistic, brick-effect finish without using actual bricks, meets this criteria. James Mead, Project Director at Weber, says: "Bricks and mortar have dominated UK construction for years, with around 70% of the UK’s new homes built with a brick façade. But we’ve also found that there is a growing appetite for offsite timber frame with factory pre-fitted external finishes. "An offsite panelised timber frame is a viable alternative to full modular or volumetric systems due to its lean and flexible production processes and can be paired with brick effect finishes to achieve that balance between contemporary construction methods and the appearance of traditional buildings." https://lnkd.in/eVChpUqw #freeguide #newguide #modernmethodsofconstruction #renders #decorativefinishes #timberframe #brickeffect #facades
