Installation of moisture detection sensors in vertical service risers, in correspondence to fire stops. Installation of moisture detection sensors in vertical service risers, in correspondence to fire stops.
Tanking of wet areas (e.g. bathrooms and kitchens) to protect them against usage-related moisture (e.g. splashing water, slow escape of water or flooding in case large quantities of water are accidentally released). CLT floors in these areas could be provided with extra protection against water uptake (eg. Boron treatment. Note: guidance on this option is still under development).

CLT floors in these areas could be provided with extra protection against water uptake (eg. Boron treatment. Note: guidance on this option is still under development).
Wet area floors could be made of a material/buildup different to CLT - less sensitive to wetting. E.g concrete, steel profile deck or lightweight timber frame.
