Timber Frame Construction

The fifth edition of TRADA Technology's definitive design guide Timber Frame Construction incorporates all the latest thermal performance requirements for Part L and beyond. The new edition, with all new drawings, is recommended by the UK Timber Frame Association and, with more structural engineers switching to Eurocodes, it will include guidance for both Eurocode 5 and BS5268.

The fifth edition reflects significant changes in regulations and best practice:

• sulation in external walls is increased. TRADA Technology recommends a service zone on the inside face to accommodate additional insulation and relocated services
• Alternative forms of construction are described for external walls
• Thermal performance of party walls is enhances with cavity insulation
