Wall and roof system

Our High Performance timber frame system is engineered to meet the demands of modern building design, delivering exceptional thermal efficiency, airtightness, and low-energy performance across both traditional and contemporary architecture.

Manufactured off-site in our state-of-the-art workshops, the system is built around a precision-engineered 140mm timber stud frame, ensuring consistent quality, accuracy, and faster on-site installation.

To achieve outstanding thermal performance, the structure is insulated with 140mm of Rockwool between the studs, combined with either 50mm or 75mm of RECTICEL® insulation across the frame. This layered approach enhances both thermal efficiency and breathability, supporting robust, fabric-first design strategies.

With U-values of 0.14 and 0.17 W/m²K, the system helps deliver:

  • Lower operational energy use
  • Improved internal comfort year-round
  • Compliance with increasingly stringent building standards

Key features

Fabric-first performance: Reduces heating and cooling demand compared to conventional new builds.

Airtight construction: Guaranteed airtightness of ≤1.0 air changes per hour.

Healthy indoor environment: When paired with MVHR, delivers fresh, filtered air and consistent temperature and humidity.

Breathable build-up: Hygrothermal design helps manage moisture and reduce condensation risk.

Precision off-site manufacturing: Factory-built panels ensure accuracy, faster installation, and minimal waste.

Efficient on-site delivery: Pre-insulated panels help reduce build time and overall costs.

Fire tested: Certified to BS EN 1365-1:2012 (loadbearing wall) and BS EN 1363-1:2020.

Moisture management: Supports better air quality and long-term durability.

Structural performance: Engineered for strength and high-performance timber frame applications.

Faster build programmes: Pre-planned and installed efficiently by our in-house team.
