Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences.
