Enhancing your Design with Performance Louvres & The Effects of Wind Pressure on Façade Elements

When choosing performance louvres, everybody tends to want the same thing - 100% rain defense and 100% air flow. So, how can specifiers make this compromise and strike the right balance between airflow, rain prevention and aesthetic appeal? And what are the regulations surrounding the use of natural ventilators in Australia?

Sustainable Tiles - a Specifiers’ Guide

Aesthetic potential is one thing, but as ever, architects and designers need to consider other factors like cost and functionality. And, more now than ever before, they also need to factor in sustainability. How should specifiers approach this complex task? How can they assess individual products and where can they access the resources to help them do so?

Assessing the Sustainability of American Hardwood Products

Despite regulatory change aimed at clarifying the issue of fire safety, there is still a widespread lack of understanding based on comparing ‘generic’ product types regardless of brand. This session will look at what constitutes compliant aluminium cladding products, how they satisfy the fire safety requirements and how they compare to each other.

Antimicrobial Surfaces – Designing for Protection & Integrity

Bacteria are found almost everywhere. While most are harmless, some can cause sepsis – a life-threatening illness caused by the human body’s response to bacteria entering the bloodstream. Specifiers wishing to minimise the risk of bacterial infection need to be aware of the paths they can take – in terms of design and materials – to prevent their transmission.

Façade Rectification - Fixing the Problem of Combustible Cladding

Though figures are difficult to come by and each state has its own ways of measuring the scale of the problem, some estimate that there are thousands of buildings with non-compliant cladding in each of Australia’s larger cities. What are the best ways to proceed with rectification work? Are there any associated problems that make it even more difficult and, importantly, how can specifiers be sure they follow best practice when undertaking this work and choosing new cladding products?
