Detailing a Building in Wood Light Framing
This chapter[BM1] discusses detailing a building in wood light framing. It begins detailing of the building with the eave, because this detail does the most to establish the appearance of the building and also seems to present the most challenges. In regard to detailing insulation, ventilation, and interior finishes, one can add to one's eave detail the plasticfoam insulating panels, gypsum board interior finish layer, and mineral wool insulating batts that were selected. Where the insulating batts tend to push up into the ventilating airspace over the exterior walls, one can provide short lengths of foam plastic vent spacer channels to maintain a free flow of air. Unsympathetic detailing can destroy the aesthetic of an otherwise well designed building, while thoughtful detailing can make it even better, which is a point lost on architects who fancy themselves to be designers but who are unwilling to work on the detailing of their buildings.
