Changes in construction methods and materials such as ’breathable’ membranes and high performance thermal insulation, introduce new issues for the integrity of buildings. One of these issues is cyclic condensation in the batten void of roofs and possible adverse effects on fibre cement slates. This Information Paper describes tests to determine whether fibre cement slates deform or lose strength following two months of cyclic condensation. 4 pages.
