The Future of Sarking – One Solution for Condensation, Water & Fire

Introduction

This CPD session explores sarking and it’s role in enhancing building performance and compliance with the AS4200. Participants will gain insights into NCC requirements for sarking, vapour drive & condensation risks. The CPD also highlights the essential role of sarking as a secondary ember protection measure, providing an additional layer of defence to improve building resilience in case of a bushfire event. Attendees will gain practical knowledge on specifying sarking to meet regulatory requirements and improve fire safety. This session is essential for professionals engaged in creating safer and compliant building designs.
