Timber Frame Walls with Brick Veneer Cladding: Reliability to Fungal Decay KU Leuven
To meet the increasingly stringent energy efficiency requirements, the market share of timber frame houses is steadily growing across Europe. In Belgium, timber frame walls are typically combined with a brick veneer cladding, a cladding type with a high moisture buffer capacity and low cavity ventilation rates, which might lead to an increased risk of moisture related damage inside the wooden construction. Therefore, the aim of the present study ...
