This Hurlstone Park property has undergone major upgrades to the balconies, external walls and windows. This comprehensive refurbishment ensures the building is now equipped to handle harsh environmental conditions with greater resilience, safety, and efficiency. From waterproofing and drainage to façade performance and structural compliance, every upgrade has been carefully implemented to extend the building's lifespan and protect its occupants.

The previous liquid membrane has been replaced with the ARDEX WPM 1000 sheet membrane, delivering enhanced durability and long-term reliability. To address construction challenges, custom flashing was installed within the Hebel external walls, compensating for the original concrete hob being built at the slab's outer edge.

To further strengthen the building envelope, new Hebel wall panels have been installed, along with top hats and sarking, boosting both weatherproofing and structural integrity. In a key improvement, overflow provisions have been added to the balconies—solving a major design flaw in the original construction and improving drainage to prevent future water damage.

All existing glazed assemblies in balcony areas have been replaced with systems engineered to withstand the site's specific wind conditions. New balcony doors have also been installed to enhance wind resistance and durability.

In addition, problematic façade windows previously surrounded by fixed metal shrouds—a common source of water ingress—have been replaced with new glazed systems featuring proprietary, tested shrouds. This upgrade offers superior water protection and improves the overall performance of the building envelope.

A full replacement of the building's external cladding was undertaken after inspections revealed that the original substructure and fixings were non-compliant and structurally inadequate. The new cladding system now meets all current safety and building codes, while also enhancing the building’s thermal performance and visual appeal.
