Construction Examples:
- Burrells. First Floor external and party walls in a terrace of three dwellings Bitvent was utilised in the place of panelvent.
- Burrells. Completion of wall and roof construction prior to the cladding of block and render under a slate roof.
- Haybergill. Detail showing the 600grid allowing roof beams to transfer their load directly onto the wall studs.
- Haybergill. The timber frame is supported on concrete piers with Glulam beams spanning to support the wall structure.
- Campie Primary School. Wall panels being lifted into position.
- Hall Hill. Central Hall with a steel frame. Panels were manufactured to be located between the steel frame. To avoid cold bridging and costly cladding to the steel frame it is recommended that the panels be located either side of the frame and not between.
- Longniddry Library. Here we see the wall panels being located inside the steel frame providing a more cost effective and efficient method of avoiding cold bridging. Note that the wall plates are fixed prior to the arrival on site of the ‘kit’.
- Silverdale. Commencement of a stick build bungalow. Note the system used to support lintels in lieu of cripple studs.
- Prickwillow. The use of 18mm plywood fixed to the floor panel to locate the wall panels. This provides an immensely strong location point ensuring that no lateral movement can take place. The yellow timber is a connecting plate for the next wall panel.
