Figure 4.2 - Fiberglass or mineral wool batt and blanket insulation is available in various thicknesses and widths sized to fit between framing spaced 16 or 24 inches (406 mm, 610 mm) on center.
Figure 5.1 - Wind blowing against the sloped side of a roof exerts pressure on the windward side and suction on the leeward side (left). Wind blowing against the gable end creates suction on the entire roof (right).
Figure 6.1 - Components of a typical grade-beam foundation.
Figure 6.3 - A full basement foundation can be insulated on the outside or inside. In both cases, provisions should be made to allow surface water to drain down the outside of the wall and into a foundation drain, which empties onto grade, if slope permits, or into a sump pump.
Figure 7.1 - A typical wood-framed floor consists of joists that span between the foundation walls and over any interior beams. Joists can either run over the tops of the beams or frame into them flush, attached by metal joist hangers. Plywood or OSB should always run with the long dimension perpendicular to the joists.
Figure 7.5 - Bumpouts can frame in either direction, with respect to the floor joists. Limit the projection to 24 inches when framing perpendicular to the joists and 1/4 of the joist span when framing parallel, unless the system is engineered.
Figure 7.8 - Existing wood floor framing can be strengthened by attaching sister joists. Ideally, the sister joists run full length to the bearing points.
Figure 8.2 - A typical post-and-beam framing system. SIP panels attached to the outside provide insulation and closure, allowing the framing members to be exposed inside.
Figure 8.5 - Today's houses use platform framing because of its simpler construction. After the first floor wall is erected, the second floor, or platform, goes on, followed by the walls of the next floor.
Figure 10.10 - Three ways to frame and insulate a cathedral ceiling.
Figure 11.2 - Studwalls in bathrooms require additional horizontal blocking to support fixtures, grab bars, and openings.
Figure 13.1 - Moldings serve many purposes on interior walls, making transitions between surfaces and features such as windows, doors and wainscoting. For example, a chair rail can demarcate the wall covering of a wainscot from a painted wall surface above.
