Abstract
Good practice recommendations and advice are given on choosing details appropriate to the degree of exposure to wind driven rain. A performance scoring system is presented; the minimum requirements are based on the BRE exposure classifications. Details are given which provide 'back-up' or robust long term performance in the event of any water ingress or condensation behind the render layer.
