Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.
