One for you timber frame detailers out there.
My client (South of England) has commissioned me to produce the construction details for a timber framed house in the New England/Cape Cod style. Whilst I have detailed several timber framed houses, all have been fully brick clad. This house is brick clad up to the second floor and then timber clad up to the eaves.
My question relates to two details.
1. The windows require a surround of 130mm(5"), how do you detail this in the timber and indeed the brick clad walls. I have an idea; however I would like to see how it’s detailed in the States.
2. The second detail is the standoff distance of the timber cladding of approx 150mm (6"). I could detail this with a forest of battens, but do any of you have a stock solution.
I'm not after any particular detail as such, just a bit of guidance.
