Provided is a ventilation member suitable for ensuring the ventilation of a ventilation layer provided on the back side of a wall material. A ventilation member X according to the present invention is a ventilation member that can be attached to a wall material, and includes a fixed plate portion, a top plate portion, a partition plate portion, a bottom plate portion, a front plate portion, and a first baffle plate portion. The fixed plate portionhas a first surface that abuts against a building framework, and a second surface on a side opposite to the first surface, and includes a first end portionlocated on one side in a state in which the ventilation member X is attached to the wall material, and a second end portionlocated on another side. The top plate portionextends from the first end portionof the fixed plate portionon the second surface side. The partition plate portionextends from the top plate portionin a direction from the first end portion toward the second end portion of the fixed plate portion. The bottom plate portionextends from the partition plate portionin a direction away from the fixed plate portion. The front plate portionextends from the bottom plate portionin a direction from the second end portion toward the first end portion of the fixed plate portion. The first baffle plate portionextends from the front plate portionto the partition plate portionside. The bottom plate portionhas a first hole. A wall material construction structure Yaccording to the present invention includes such a ventilation member X.

Ventilation member and wall material construction structure

External corner material for walls

In building a house, it is necessary to arrange bearing walls and non-bearing walls in a well-balanced manner. However, in the case where a bearing wall is configured by fixing a plate-like body such as a bearing wall panel to the exterior-side face of a structural frame member formed by assembling horizontal members and pillar members into the shape of a square frame, the surface of the bearing wall panel protrudes from the face of the structural frame member on the exterior side by a distance corresponding to the thickness of the bearing wall panel. Thus, the exterior-side face of the bearing wall in which the bearing wall panel is provided is not flush with the exterior-side face of the non-bearing wall in which the bearing wall panel is not provided, and so there is a step. Accordingly, processing of the base during attachment of an exterior building material has been necessary. Furthermore, there has been a problem that in the case where the condition of the framework is to be inspected after building, the inspection cannot be performed unless the bearing wall panel is removed. Receiving members are fixed to inner side faces enclosed by structural members including pillars, studs, and horizontal members, of a building so as to allow a face of a bearing wall panel on the exterior side to be flush with faces of the structural members on the exterior side and a face of an adjacent non-bearing wall on the exterior side.
