Subject field(s)
  • Walls and Partitions
  • Thermal Insulation
DEF

A wall of offset 2x4s (interior then exterior) with a thick cavity filled with cellulose insulation.

OBS

This wall system uses less wood than conventional framing and when filled with cellulose is non-toxic, has low air-infiltration, is resistant to insects and rodents, can be very well insulated(12 inches or more) with no thermal bridging.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Murs et cloisons
  • Isolation thermique
CONT

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.

Key term(s)
  • mur à ossature double
