You've Been Framed!

Natural Building Technologies (NBT) has introduced a slimline 'Timber Frame with Brick Cladding' new wall system that has achieved LANTAC approval.

The build costs of the system are similar to others with equivalent thermal performance in conventional timber frame and masonry construction, but it offers substantial added benefits.

The NW2 system achieves an impressive overall U-Value of between 0.33 W/m2K and 0.20 W/m2K (depending on options) but there are fewer layers resulting in a slimmer construction.

It is fully vapour permeable without the risk of interstitial condensation or rot.

Thermal and acoustic performances match heavyweight buildings.

NW2 offers a simple and robust structure that is quick and easy to build.

The materials are non-toxic, non-irritant and easy to handle for installers - with zero emissions when installed.

LANTAC approval provides significant time and cost benefits for clients commissioning new projects.

LANTAC certification speeds up the approval process and ensures that design work can progress more rapidly.

The involvement of local authority building control is a client's guarantee of a service which is publicly accountable, with independent plan checking and site inspection.
