Open timber frame construction detail
An open panel timber frame is covered internally by plasterboard, vapour barrier and filled with high performance insulation, OSB, Moisture/vapour barriers are built in, then the outer leaf of the wall (typically stone, brick, render or timber) completes the structure. There are many forms of timber frame construction to choose from, including advanced and closed panel, volumetric and hybrid systems, and a host of exciting, beneficial developments including SIP technology.
SIP technology gives you superior insulation, structural strength and air-tightness. The composite panels are lightweight, quick to erect and avoid the compression shrinkage and cold bridging often associated with stud walls.
