What is ‘Thermal Performance’ and how important is it?
The thermal performance of a building or house plays an increasingly significant part in the decision making process. Consumers are becoming more aware of energy ratings, carbon savings and the thermal benefits available today. This drives the need for greater thermally efficient and cost-effective solutions. The ‘Ultimate Closed System®’ offered by QTF Services answers all these concerns when it comes to making a decision of the material to use in a building project.
One of the main factors contributing towards the environmental performance of a building is the thermal performance of the buildings fabric. The overall Thermal performance is measured in terms of heat loss, and is commonly expressed in the construction industry as a U-value.
The better-insulated the Timber Frame structure, the lower the U-value will be. Workmanship and installation standards can strongly affect the thermal transmittance. If less insulation or fitted poorly, with gaps and cold bridges, then the thermal transmittance can be considerably higher than desired. Thermal transmittance takes heat loss due to conduction, convection and radiation into account.
QTF ‘Ultimate Closed System®’is a closed panel Timber Frame solution, designed to eliminate the risks of any gaps and closed bridges. It is also professionally insulated and overall ensuring maximum heat retention and active automatic cooling of its environment, driven by natural result of the timber.
U Values results from the ‘Ultimate Closed System®’
Through internally and using an independent third party, QTF Services have determined the uvalue of the Ultimate Clsoed System insulation as 0.15W/m2K.
‘Ultimate Closed System®’ expected time frame
The ‘Ultimate Closed System® panels can be erected extremely quickly thereby reducing timescales and speeding up the build programme. In the past many of QTF Services ‘Ultimate Closed System®’ have been erected within 2-3 days from The closed panel system allows for greater accuracy and a better standard of finish on handover. The largest environmental saving is from reduced energy seen over the buildings life spam.
Bulk purchasing of our raw materials not only reduces green miles but allows us to pass on the economies to our customers.
Based on conventional timber frame, ‘Ultimate Closed System® is accepted by NHBC and conforms to all the appropriate Euro Codes, British and European standards
