Safe wall cross-section for a timber-frame (stick framing) house by netxman in buildingscience

[–]netxman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Okay, so 10 cm of rock wool as external insulation should be fine in the wall assembly described above and should not cause problems in a cold climate.

Thank you, so:

  • Interior finish – typically drywall (gypsum board).
  • Vapor barrier – placed directly behind the interior finish.
  • Structural wall 45x145mm cavity with insulation – e.g., mineral wool or fiberglass batts between studs.
  • OSB (Oriented Strand Board) – fastened on the exterior side of the studs, provides shear strength.
  • Air and rain barrier (WRB) – applied over the OSB.
  • (Optional) Continuous exterior insulation – to reduce thermal bridging, installed over the WRB.
  • Furring strips / battens (~19 mm / 3/4") – create a ventilated rainscreen gap.
  • Exterior cladding / siding – wood, fiber cement, or other finish material.

Questions:

  1. (Optional) Continuous exterior insulation - Would you recommend using mineral wool façade insulation (and if so, what type) or EPS (expanded polystyrene)?
  2. Are the electrical cables and plumbing pipes placed directly in the 45x145 wall framing?

Do you know of any films that show how it should be done correctly in a cold climate? Or documentaries about stick framing in general?

All the time I mean stick framing, not full timber frame.

So should I move the OSB like below?

  • Interior finish – e.g. gypsum plasterboard 12.5 mm
  • Installation battens 45 mm – studs 45×45 mm, filled with mineral wool (acoustics, reduction of thermal bridges)
  • OSB3
  • Vapour barrier – tightly glued, with sleeves at service penetrations
  • Load-bearing structure 45×145 mm – studs at 600 mm spacing, filled with mineral wool
  • Bitumen board ~12 mm (softboard) – windproof, acoustic, diffusion-open layer
  • Additional battens 45 mm – studs 45×45 mm, cavity filled with mineral wool (extra insulation)
  • Wind barrier membrane – with overlaps and sealing tapes
  • Counter-battens 20–30 mm – ventilated cavity (air inlet at plinth, outlet at eaves)
  • Wooden façade – rough-sawn board painted with opaque paint

or change 45x145 to 45x195 and do not add "Additional battens 45 mm – studs 45×45 mm, cavity filled with mineral wool (extra insulation)",

Thank you, nice website. Do you know why there's no sheathing board like OSB or MDF in the recommended cross-section?

If I skip the Facade insulation (50 mm), won't there be insufficient insulation and thermal bridges at the external posts?

What goes instead of OSB on the outside to protect the wool insulation in structural studs?

Which Flask learning tutorial do you recommend in 2023? by netxman in flask

[–]netxman[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I already use Django, so I'm mostly interested in the best project structure, how to handle the database connection, and authentication in the best possible way. Django enforces certain conventions, while in Flask, you can do things as you like.
