Open panel frame systems
Our open panel timber frame systems offer a flexible, cost-effective solution for high-volume housebuilding. Designed for speed, accuracy and quality, they provide a proven route to offsite construction efficiency. Manufactured in controlled factory conditions, each panel delivers reliable performance and faster build times.
Pre-insulated panel timber frame systems
Pre-insulated timber panels combine the benefits of offsite manufacture with exceptional thermal efficiency. Factory-fitted insulation ensures consistent quality, reduced waste and faster site progress. These systems help meet future homes and low-carbon targets while keeping build costs under control.
Closed panel timber frame systems
Our closed panel timber frame systems, including the Sigma® II platform, deliver high performance, precision and speed. With insulation and service zones factory-installed, they reduce site labour, improve airtightness and support modern methods of construction. Certified by NHBC, BOPAS and BBA, they’re built for quality and long-term confidence.
