How this node works
At the foot the cladding starts off a bracket with a thermal break that holds the rail off the wall; the insulation is fixed to the wall behind. A base flashing closes and drips the cavity, and an insect grille leaves the air inlet open: this is where the air enters to rise up the ventilated gap.
