Aspects of cladding (1995)

Aspects of cladding (1995) was prepared following a request from the Standing Committee on Structural Safety (SCOSS) for guidance for the industry to improve safety to the public from dangerous cladding. Cladding has long been a problem at the interface between professional disciplines. The task group which prepared the report included architects, surveyors and material engineers as well as structural and civil engineers.

The report scans a broad canvas and is written in both performance and prescriptive modes, giving guidance on many forms of cladding including:

- boards
- concrete
- facing brickwork
- faience
- glass
- GRC
- GRP
- metal sheeting
- renders
- slates
- stones
- tiling and mosaics
- timber facings
