How this node works
The cappotto starts on an aluminium starting profile fixed to the wall: it sets the line, carries the first row of boards and ends in a drip that throws the water clear. Below it the plinth is insulated with water-resistant XPS, because that band is the most exposed to splashing and rising damp.
