Joinery and Detailing
- Shadow Gap Detailing for Drywall Ceilings and MasonryThis detailing review explains how to construct clean visual reveals between suspended gypsum ceilings and uneven masonry walls. It covers extrusion profiles, deflection allowances, and backing acoustic seals.
- Specifying Linear LED Diffusers to Prevent Visual HotspotsThis guide provides calculation formulas for extrusion depth-to-pitch ratios to produce uninterrupted lines of light in millwork. It evaluates opal, frosted, and micro-prismatic lens materials.
- Cross-Laminated Timber vs Glulam: Structural Load CriteriaThis technical note compares two-way panel action in CLT floor slabs against unidirectional bending performance in glulam beams. Readers examine connection bracket geometries and fire charring calculations.
