The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences.
