Design Guides
DCTech publishes a series of design guides to provide solutions for new buildings and rectification.
IRMA Roof Design Guide
At DCTech we believe the best way to ensure a trouble-free roof is to build it upside-down using an Inverted Roof Membrane Assembly [IRMA] system in which the thermal insulation is located above the waterproof layer.
Non-combustible Cladding Guide
There is an increasing awareness that walls built prior to NCC 2019 are exhibiting moisture problems related to condensation. Furthermore, the thermal performance of many buildings is not meeting consumer expectations or the modelling used to design them.
Proctor Passive Window Detailing Guide
Almost all timber will deteriorate when exposed to moisture for lengthy periods of time. Fungal decay or rot is the result. One area where rot and mould are most commonly found is around windows.
There are many reasons why windows and their surrounds are so susceptible to moisture related problems. It is not unsurprising, that when making a large penetration in the building assembly, that extra attention to detail is required to reduce the risk of moisture damage and mould.
ProctorVent Roof Ventilation Design Guide
DcTechs offers a comprehensive range of passive roof vent components from Proctor Group & Vent Systems to allow for best practice condensation management of roof spaces. The full range includes ridge vents for metal roofing, dry ridge vents for tiled roofing, non-structural ventilation and drainage battens, fascia ventilators, eaves comb fillers and roll panel vents to maintain a free air pathway above the insulation.
ProctorVent Roof Ventilation Drawings
This documents contains suggested methods of ventilation, but the overall design and dimensions are the responsibility of the designer in complaicance with the NCC, Individual State Requirements and AS3959 in bush fire prone areas.
