Timber Frame – the Scott Panel Basic
Timber Frame Panels are manufactured in different configurations depending on your needs.
The Scott Panel Basic comes in a standard 140 “open panel” configuration, with your choice of external sheathing and breather membrane all pre-installed in our dedicated factory.
Once assembled and made weather-tight, the structure is ready for on-site insulation and service installation.
The Scott Panel Basic offers exceptional flexibility, allowing you to achieve a broad range of U-values from 0.25 to 0.16 W/m²K, significantly surpassing current building regulation requirements.
