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.

 

Weatherboard

Weatherboard is cladding which consists of long thin timber boards that overlap one another, horizontally on the outside of the wall. They usually have a tongued and grooved joint arranged to link the boards together. It is good practice to leave the lower part of a wall free of cladding to avoid dampness caused by air not circulating which could subsequently rot the weatherboard.
