Trapped moisture inside a commercial wall cavity can lead to serious structural damage down the road.
Setting up a proper ventilation gap behind your cladding is key to keeping the building dry.
When you install Alteria aluminium cladding onto a top hat network, it creates an air gap behind the boards. This cavity acts as a protective layer against condensation and moisture.
Why that air gap matters:
✔ It allows air to circulate behind the panels, helping dry out condensation.
✔ It works with your building wrap to support Australian moisture management requirements.
Keep the building envelope dry and protected long before you hand over the keys.
