timber frame house

[Runswithscissors]

If you are going to build a brand new timber frame home........ why should there be a need to fit an insulated render syste to the outside?

Build it properly and have all the insulation in the structure............ then just have cladding on the outside!

Yes - I would say that wouldn't I. But why have a cold cavity behind insulation anyway?

The insurance companies really do come up with some strange ideas here in the UK.....

No mate. The rails are perforated the air flow is vertical so vertical fixing onto battens is also allowwd on some systems.

The cavity must be able to drain free any moisture that might ingress. Although it should not get in their in the first place imo

Ahh ok got it, cheers for the Decent response

I lived in a new build that was freezing. The cold air that was coming out of plug sockets etc was terrible. The dry lining was faulty but my point is that the insulation in the cavity was virtually non existent as the cold draughty gap behind the plasterboard made the house cold. Surely a ventilated(draughty) gap between you and the insulation is compromised insulation and bad design.

Exactly....

A timber sub frame has an ample space for insulation.

board and render on the facade is the best way, vented external insulated rail systems dont have the u vals imo
