Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.
