What’s on the Window Junctions poster
A 5-row table: Junction · Risk · Fix.
Head, jamb and cill. Each has one thing that usually goes wrong.
- Head — Water tracks in — Cavity tray and weeps
- Jamb — Cold reveal — Insulated cavity closer
- Cill — Water sits, wicks — Throat, drip, upstand
- All three — Air leakage — Sealed to the air barrier
- All three — Cold surface — Insulation overlaps frame
Educational reference. Overlap the insulation onto the window frame. A frame set outside the insulation line is a cold bridge.

- Who is the Window Junctions poster for?
- Window Junctions belongs to the Architecture section rather than to a school year, because design is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning construction technology can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Window Junctions poster?
- Use it whenever you draw an opening. Most envelope failures happen near a window. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Window Junctions belongs on the wall where that design work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Window Junctions?
- The Envelope, The Cavity Wall and Cladding Systems sit alongside Window Junctions in the Architecture section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.The EnvelopeThe Cavity WallCladding Systems
- Is the Window Junctions poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Window Junctions downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Architecture section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Window Junctions poster print at?
- Window Junctions is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Window Junctions loses nothing.Printing guide
