The PDF guide provides typical details for open panel timber frame wall panels constructed using: 140x38mm timber studs and rails; 9mm or 12mm oriented strand board or plywood sheathing; breather membrane on the outer surface of the sheathing; mineral wool insulation between the studs; a polyethylene vapour control layer on the 'warm' side of the insulation; or plasterboard as the internal lining surface.
The drawings are in DWG (AutoCAD 2005) and PDF (Acrobat 6) formats, offering flexibility of use for designers.
Mac versions of the DWG files are available on request.
