Detail Library – New Details November 2024
House Extensions BLOG

On the Detail Library, we are excited to share another set of details that have been requested regularly by our members. 

This set consists of stone facing partial fill masonry cavity wall details and stone facing timber frame wall details. In this set we explore a 150mm cavity with 100mm rigid insulation to the cavity. For the timber frame we show insulation between the rafters and an insulated service void internally. Other configurations could be used but this is a great starting point. 

This set consists of:

  • Stone outer leaf masonry cavity wall window detail
  • Stone outer leaf masonry cavity wall window jamb detail
  • Stone outer leaf masonry cavity wall eaves detail with insulation between and under rafters
  • Stone outer leaf masonry cavity wall eaves detail with ventilated loft space
  • Stone outer leaf masonry cavity wall flat roof parapet detail
  • Stone outer leaf masonry cavity wall foundation detail
  • Stone outer leaf timber frame wall window section detail
  • Stone outer leaf timber frame wall window jamb detail
  • Stone outer leaf timber frame wall eaves detail with insulation between and over rafters
  • Stone outer leaf timber frame wall eaves detail with ventilated loft space
  • Stone outer leaf timber frame wall flat roof parapet detail
  • Stone outer leaf timber frame wall foundation detail

We hope you find them useful!
