A cross-laid stud frame wall is the recommended structure when a single frame is not enough. However a Nordic Wall is often a more economical solution and gives better thermal resistance.
The horizontal cross laid secondary studs can also be mounted on the inside*. The vapor barrier is then installed between the wooden frame and the secondary frame. This structure allows electricity cables to be drawn inside the vapor barrier. Therefore there is no need to break the vapor barrier which means there is less leakage. |
