Home insulation is one of the biggest considerations to be made when planning to build a property. As well as reducing energy bills, pre-insulated wall panels help to reduce noise.
Target Timber’s custom-made wall panels are precision-engineered to the highest industry standards. This gives our customers peace of mind, along with all the cost-saving benefits they bring.
We produce three types of pre-manufactured timber frame wall panels: Open panels, closed panels and advanced closed panels.
We design and manufacture timber frame systems including wall panels for outer walls, as well as load-bearing and non-load-bearing internal walls.
Whether you’re a professional housebuilder or a self-builder, our specialist team of design engineers will provide you with all details and calculations for external and internal wall panels. An outline of our wall panel options are below.
Our open panel timber frame is a wall panel that allows insulation to be factory-fitted or fitted on-site.
There are several insulation options for open panels but as a rule, soft insulation is fitted on-site, while rigid foam insulation types can be fitted on-site or in our factory.
Once on site, panels are finished with a vapour control layer and plasterboard. This results in a wall that can achieve U-values down to around 0.17 W/m2/K.
Target’s closed panel timber frame is fully made in the factory. We fit the required insulation, and further enhance the panel by installing both the vapour control layer and a batten that provides a zone for services.
These enhancements further improve insulation performance and can achieve a U-value of 0.15 W/m2/K.
In addition, our insulated closed panels come with an LABC Warranty and a Premier Guarantee.
The U-values achieved with our pre-manufactured timber frame wall panels meet the requirements of the latest Part L Building Regulations and Future Homes Standard.
Target’s Advanced Closed Panel timber frame is fully made in the factory. We fit the required insulation, and further enhance the panel by installing an additional layer of 25mm rigid PIR across the face of the studs and fit both the vapour control layer and a batten that provides a zone for services.
This additional layer of insulation enhances the U Value to an incredibly low 0.13 (with masonry cladding) and at the same time eliminates any thermal (cold) bridging through the studs.
These enhancements further improve insulation performance and can achieve a U-value of 0.13 W/m2/K.
All of our panelised systems come with thermally modelled cold bridging calculations which further enhances the resulting SAP and Energy Performance Certificates.
In addition, our insulated closed panels come with an LABC Warranty and a Premier Guarantee.
The U-values achieved with our pre-manufactured Advanced Closed Panel timber frame system vastly exceeds the requirements of the latest Part L Building Regulations and Future Homes Standard and is bordering on the requirements of the Passivhaus wall U-value standards.
Buildings using this system can often result in a reduction and requirement in other aspects within the build such as the reduction or elimination of MVHR, Triple Glazing, Solar PV and/or a relaxing of airtightness levels.
Our wall panels are custom made for each customer project. They are designed to achieve the most practical and achievable wall U-values.
Our design experts understand how to eliminate potential heat loss through timber studs. Furthermore, eliminating the thermal bridge using carefully modelled and accredited Psi values helps to achieve improved SAP and EPC ratings.
Our Enhanced insulated Open Panel provides superior thermal and moisture resistance. This means there’s often no need for MVHR, and SAP compliance will still be achieved.
