Floor Wastes and Falls to Wastes | NCC Requirements

Nov 21, 2023 | Bathroom Design, Knowledge and Know How, Laundry Design

The National Construction Code (NCC) Volumes One and Two, and associated Housing Provisions, set out specific requirements for wet areas with respect to floor wastes and falls.

Compliance with the Provisions is required whether the floor waste is mandated or voluntary, and it’s important for designers to have a good understanding of the regulations.

We’ve summarised the most relevant parts of the Code and Housing Provisions in relation to this topic, and have set out some useful definitions, too, in an all-new printable resource.

KBDi Members can access this Technical Bulletin at no cost via their exclusive Members Portal.

If you’re not a current KBDi Member but would like to know how to access these resources (along with a host of other benefits), contact us today.
