Timber Percentage Report
Timber is an excellent and easy to use sustainable building material. There is however a direct correlation between the achieved construction R-value and how much timber is within the wall framing due to thermal bridging.
More Timber = More thermal bridging = lower achieved construction R-value
Historically it was believed that there was between 14-17% timber ratio to exterior wall framing. The BRANZ Beacon Pathways study found that the true percentage was anywhere between 24-57% when accounting for all timber within the wall frame.
What is being promoted by industry bodies is that designers account for the timber to wall area ratio when calculating their project’s compliance with H1. There is however, one important missing piece of the puzzle – the timber percentage. Well, we have that missing puzzle piece and can supply this important piece of data, project specific, for our customers. PlaceMakers Frame and Truss is leading the industry through the Framology Timber Percentage Report service.
