Essential timber frame standard details in handy e-format
 TRADA Technology has produced Essential Timber Frame Standard Details (for single occupancy detached, semi-detached and terraced houses) in a ready-to-use electronic PDF format. It contains 32 of the most commonly used drawings from the company's respected publication and CD, Timber Frame: Standard Details for Houses and Flats.
The downloadable application is appropriate for low-rise buildings (up to three storeys) with concrete ground floors. It provides typical details for 'open' panel timber frame wall panels constructed using:
- 140mm x 38mm 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
- 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. Essential Timber Frame Standard Details will save countless hours of detail designs, says TRADA Technology.
The cost is £95.00+VAT (TRADA members) or £190.00+VAT (non-members). For further information click here.
