The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences.
