Hi,
I am proposing to build a house with timber cladding directly onto the timber frame studwork which will be insulated and plasterboard on the internal face. I have spoken to a building engineer and he thinks that because the studwork doesn't have an OSB sheathing then the moisture wont "wick" into the structure. However, will this cause a problem with regards to thermal bridging?
