Chimney Details and Stone Veneer Siding
The team at the 2020 FHB House discusses why they saved an old stone chimney, and walks us through the details needed to add masonry veneer to a superinsulated house.
Patrick McCombe is back at the 2020 Fine Homebuilding House to admire the original stone chimney, which the design team felt was a crucial element to keep despite the challenge of incorporating it into this Passive House remodel. While he’s there, Elizabeth DiSalvo of Trillium Architects and Albert Jensen-Moulten from BPC Green Builders show Patrick the unique fluid-applied underlayment they installed over the rainscreen walls to ensure that the home’s new Eldorado Stone masonry veneer will be part of a durable, weatherproof wall assembly.
