Full coverage for the external envelope, roof, cladding, and flashings, protecting against moisture ingress and water damage.

Structural fire-resistance systems and passive fire protection measures are covered throughout the full guarantee period.
Where compliant materials are used, coverage extends to rot and fungal decay affecting structural and non-structural elements.
