Library
The ABIS library is a collection of useful reference material relating to buildings and their problems as well as timber pests such as termites.
The library is a combination of material written by ABIS as a result of our own research and practical experience together with useful information gleaned from other authoritative sources.
Cladding
Siding or cladding is the application of one material such as timber, vinyl, steel, fibre cement, stone or polystyrene over another to provide a skin or layer to control infiltration of weather or for aesthetic purposes. However, cladding does not necessarily have to provide water-proofing but may be a control element which safely directs water or wind run-off and prevents infiltration into the building.
