This flashing is concealed and is a continuous waterproofing membrane Metal flashing Plasterboard: -Most common ceiling and wall building material in Australia -Decision of 13mm plasterboard: can withstand greater abuse than 10mm board, less sound transmission, however is slightly more expensive -Gypsum: durable, relatively lightweight, fire-resistant -Relatively cheap Aluminium window framing: Thermal conductivity of aluminium is about three times greater than that of steel so it’s less effective in reducing heat transfer, although it is a good reflector of UV and is resistant to corrosion due to natural coating created by exposure to oxygen. Is relatively cheap
