Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.
