Good Practice Guide: Long-run metal roofing (2nd edition)
Product Description
Long-run profiled metal roofing is commonly used on a wide range of buildings, from houses to large warehouses and industrial buildings.
When correctly selected for the in-use environment, well detailed, well installed and well maintained, long-run metal roofing can provide years of trouble-free service. When poorly selected, detailed and constructed, metal roofs can cause major problems and require extensive maintenance during the life of the building.
This guide covers good roofing practice, detailing and materials and is aimed at designers and specifiers, roofing contractors, building contractors, building owners, building officials, and tutors and students in construction-related disciplines.

Good Repair Guide: Wall linings
General wear and tear in a house often results in damage to interior wall linings. Damage can range from repairable (a picture hook pulled out or a door handle through the wall) to the catastrophic (a major leak or structural failure).
This Good Repair Guide outlines some options for repairing existing wall linings and guidelines for when to replace a sheet or larger area of lining.
Prefinished linings (such as melamine-faced boards) are not included in this guide.
Good Repair Guide: Timber floorboards
Tongue and groove (T&G) timber floors laid over joists are a typical feature of older New Zealand homes. From the earliest houses until 1970s, all houses had timber floorboards.
Moisture changes in the timber can cause floorboards to expand and contract, and timber flooring is also susceptible to minor damage such as scuffs and scratches.
This Good Repair Guide describes the types of repairs that can be made where damage to floorboards is minor or localised. It does not cover major repairs or where the floor may need to be replaced as a result of subfloor or foundation failure.
