Cladding 27 Chapman Place

A cladding update for Number 27 Chapman Place. Here's me and Mark installing the white Colorbond sheeting on the north (street-facing) facade. On the right you can see the two sets of louvred windows that have been set into that wall - one is in the main bedroom, the other in the ensuite bathroom.

You might remember from the plans that this facade has angled edges. Below you can see how that works from the back, before the cladding has gone on.

Here I'm attaching the last of the green thermal wrapping to the frame, before the fibro sheeting is installed over the top. Thermal wrap reduces radiant heat transfer and controls moisture and condensation with-in the cavity space, it helps the make the house more energy efficient. I use CSR Bradford wall wraps. The full explanation of the benefits can be found here.

This bump-out section below, part of one of the bedrooms, has two sets of louvred windows and is also clad in the white Colorbond iron. We made a decision early on to clad the bump-outs (anywhere that the rooms are cantilevered out beyond the basic rectangular shape of the house) in iron corresponding to the roof colour.

For a cladding update for Number 25, please see this post, which contains further information about the fibro cladding technique which also applies to Number 27.
