Is it possible to achieve a cost-effective head-of-wall joint that meets code, is trade-friendly and code compliant?
Education and smart designs are the keys to success when it comes to cost-effective, code-compliant, head-of-wall construction joints.
Consider the variety of building codes that apply to head-of-wall joints. The IBC 2000 was intended to take precedence of the earlier codes and unify them into an international standard. But local government agencies may still insist compliance to earlier codes, too. So, depending on what region of the country that you operate, the UBC, the SBCCI or BOCA may also apply.
