How this node works

Timber fears rising damp: the panel never touches the concrete. It rests on a sill plate, separated from the ring beam by a membrane (capillary break) and detached from the ground, and is anchored with plates.

Key points

  • Foundation / ring beam
  • Membrane / DPC (capillary break)
  • Sill plate
  • X-LAM panel
  • Anchor (plate/bolt)
