We use taped OSB on the inside of our timber frame houses to make them airtight allowing the timber frames to breathe/dry out to the outside and to the inside. We've achieved excellent Air tightness results as low as 0.3 air changes/hr @50Pa with this method, easily achieving the Passive House standard. One of our latest developments is the twin-wall timber frame house build system seen above that totally eliminates Cold Bridging.

Our 300mm Twin-Wall stud is insulated with dense Cellulose insulation (60kg/m2). This Cold Bridge free wall build up achieved a U-value of 0.11W/(m2.K) from the Passive House Institute. Our Timber Frame house walls have a Decrement Degree of over 12 hours giving the house a high thermal mass effect and excellent heat retention. This Timber Frame wall-build up is designed to hold onto heat for a long time when you turn off the heat and to minimise daily temperature fluctuation, Fermacell absorbs noise, regulates humidity internally and is impact resistant.

Our patented foundation system is certified by the Passive Haus institute as having a zero Cold Bridge where the wall meets the floor and is an excellent companion for our Passive Timber Frame houses.

Our silent Timber frame floors are 35% quieter than standard concrete floors. This is easily achieved by putting soft acoustic materials between hard materials.
