Le mur double ossature : il est constitué de deux murs de 2"x 4" espacés au 24", et isolés à la cellulose. De plus, la largeur entre les deux rangées de colombagesn’est pas fixe comme dans le cas d’un mur en 2" x 6" ce qui permet de faire varier l’épaisseur de l’isolant en vrac et donc le facteur R du mur. Ce système réduit lesrisques d’infiltration d’air et les ponts thermiques. 1, record 1, French, - mur%20%C3%A0%20double%20ossature
