Accommodating any natural breathable solution as well as a full spectrum of cladding options, this system has superior thermal and airtightness qualities that make it the ideal basis for a modern, energy-efficient building.
This twin stud solution is a great option for self-builders creating high-performing buildings. Constructed using two 90mm studs with a 90mm separation, fully fitted with the natural breathable insulation of your choice. The insulation, be it glass, mineral wool, or any other material, is packed between a sheathing board and a wood fibre board to improve airtightness levels with a choice of breathable membranes. Reducing the timber fraction content of the wall solution improves the overall performance of the build, meaning the system can achieve U-values ranging from 0.13 – 0.09 W/m2K and prevent thermal bridging. And there’s no need to incorporate expensive bolt-on technologies or space heaters and coolers.
TechVantage T was instrumental in delivering stand-out properties, including the striking property, The Cedar House. This adaptable and flexible system was perfect for delivering the properties’ complex design, and Frame Technologies worked closely with COCOON architects to value engineer the build using this system to save costs across the project. Meanwhile, self-builders of property Highfield in Cholesbury opted for TechVantage T as it was vital for including several key features, including vaulted and semi-vaulted ceilings.
Finally, this TechVantage system can be paired with a variety of cladding, from traditional masonry to lightweight cladding.
