| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of an inability to accommodate
dimensional changes due to variations in moisture content, which could lead
to jamming of sheet edges, which could lead to buckling of cladding.
This is to limit the probability of precipitation ingress, which
could lead to deterioration, which could lead to compromised structural integrity
of the wall or constructions supported by the wall, which could lead to structural
collapse, which could lead to damage to the building.
