Seminar
Tradition in a Modern Form - Introducing Fibre Cement Plank Systems in Rainscreen Cladding Systems
The presentation aims to give a broad and as detailed as possible overview of fibre cement as a relevant facade materials in rainscreen cladding systems. The CPD has a particular focus on plank systems used primarily in low rise residential dwellings. This covers the essentials on the nature of the material, how it is made and used as a facade material as part of an overview of rainscreen construction technology, origins and principles.
The presentation establishes a context of the evolution of materials that offer traditional qualities whilst meeting the needs of modern construction, regulations and standards. Finally an overview of typical construction details and use cases.

This CPD aims to give delegates:
1. An overview of rainscreen cladding principles and evolution.
2. An understanding the nature of fibre cement as a material and its qualities/properties.
3. Knowledge on how materials evolve to meet modern construction needs, whilst retaining traditional character.
4. Information on how to detail facades using fibre cement as part of a rainscreen system.
5. An understanding of fibre cement performance in relation to legislation and standards.

by the end of this CPD delegates ought to:

1. Have an overview of the history of rainscreen cladding, its principles and construction.
2. Have an improved understanding of fibre cement as a relevant facade material and how it can be used effectively.
3. Have a thorough background in the nature and properties of fibre cement, how it can be used to satisfy MMC requirements and create texture and character.
4. Have an understanding of typical fibre cement plank construction details across a variety of conditions.
5. Know how fibre cement meets legislative requirements and standards in health and safety, fire and durability.
