Fletcher Insulation’s Sisalation® Vapawrap™ range of vapour permeable construction fabrics represent the latest in moisture control, vapour permeable watertight membranes. These products are constructed to reduce the risk of condensation developing on surfaces within the building envelope where they are unwanted. At the same time as allowing moisture to pass outward from the inside of the building, these modern membranes prevent the entry of dust and water from the outside environment both during and after construction. In contrast to traditional foil faced sarking products, the high water vapour permeability of the Sisalation® Vapawrap™ range of vapour permeable membranes permit the contained escape of moisture from within a building along with limiting the ingress of liquid water and dust from the external environment. ....

ABC Everyday Amanda lost her home in a bushfire, but her insurance covered the costs. ( Print text only Amanda Scully s family always had a fire plan. But by the time the bushfire had ripped through their NSW town of Malua Bay on New Years Eve in 2019, plan A quickly became plan C. Our home was completely destroyed. There was nothing left, she says. For Amanda, having insurance was worth it for the temporary accommodation cover alone. We had to live somewhere else in a lease of $550 a week.

Free resources including workshops and information are available for those considering building or rebuilding homes with timber in bushfire-prone locations.

Building a bushfire-resistant structure doesn’t preclude the use of wood and wood products. Forest & Wood Products Australia Limited (FWPA), the industry body that resources WoodSolutions, has updated resources to help rebuild resilient homes in BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) rated areas. A program of workshops and informational resources will be rolled out over the coming months in fire-affected communities. ....
