Frame Wise - Frame Wise debuts at interbuild with zero-carbon
panels
Timber frame design and build specialists Frame Wise
are debuting at Interbuild with revolutionary insulated
wall, floor and roof panels that will help developers
meet the Government’s 2016 zero-carbon targets.
The panels have been designed in-house by Frame Wise
(stand 05-K115/L110) which provides a complete timber
frame solution for projects nationwide including houses,
schools, offices and nursing homes. This includes
insulation alongside floating floors, external and
internal joinery, plant and equipment hire, and fall
arrest safety systems.
Their latest achievement, in their 10th anniversary
year, is a block of 62 apartments on an inner city site
in Swindon which at seven storeys is the current limit
for timber-frame construction.
The new zero-carbon panels, which will help
housebuilders achieve high ratings under the Code for
Sustainable Homes by achieving U-values of 0.1 or less
for walls and roofs, are even more recent proof that the
company pushes the boundaries.
The panels incorporate thermal and acoustic mineral
glass wool insulation from Saint-Gobain Isover which is
manufactured from sustainable silica sand incorporating
up to 80% recycled glass. Coupled with the frame of
sustainable timber, Frame Wise buildings are designed to
deliver the best environmental credentials.
At Interbuild (at the NEC from October 28th to November
1st), Frame Wise will also showcase a next-generation
breather membrane from Isover which optimises moisture
levels on the inside rather than the outside of
timber-framed buildings as well as delivering the levels
of airtightness required for zero carbon buildings.
