Timber Frame – the Scott Panel Thermo
Timber Frame Panels are manufactured in different configurations depending on your needs.
The Scott Panel Thermo is a great solution for when finding the balance between maximising internal room dimensions while minimising thermal losses is essential.
It starts with a factory-assembled open stud panel (Scott Panel Basic), which is then enhanced in our factory with rigid-style insulation pre-fitted within the stud zone. This design allows for on-site installation of plumbing, wiring, and vapour control layers while maintaining excellent thermal efficiency. Scott Panel Thermo offers a U-Value range of 0.18 W/m²K to 0.1 W/m²K.
Once assembled and made weather-tight, the structure is ready for on-site insulation and service installation.
The Scott Panel Thermo offers exceptional thermal performance, allowing you to achieve a broad range of U-values from 0.18 W/m²K to 0.1 W/m²K, significantly surpassing current building regulation requirements.
