How this node works

At the corner the bracing OSB continues unbroken so as not to interrupt the diaphragm, and the inner vapour control layer is returned and sealed with tape: airtightness must never break at the corners.

Key points

  • Corner studs
  • Cavity insulation
  • Continuous OSB at the corner
  • Vapour control + tape
  • Continuous airtightness
