The Session
This presentation explores condensation management and ventilation strategies for metal roofing and wall cladding systems, with a clear focus on NCC compliance and real-world constructability. It will unpack the NCC condensation provisions as they relate to metal envelopes and examine how different wall and roof build-ups perform in practice — from direct-fixed profiles to architectural panel systems installed over battens or plywood substrates. The session will compare insulation types, vapour control layers, and breathable membranes, and will place particular emphasis on correct detailing of ventilation paths, air inlets, and outlets to reduce condensation risk and improve long-term building performance.
