Sarking

A pliable membrane behind cladding that manages water and vapour.

Sarking is a reflective or breathable membrane installed behind cladding and within wall and roof build-ups to manage water, vapour and, in some products, radiant heat. It is part of the complete wall system that cladding sits over.

The performance and compliance of a wall is assessed on the whole build-up, sarking included, not the cladding alone.
