The focus from Frame UK was increased options in its range of factory-finished closed panels for timber frame construction.

“This is definitely the direction the timber frame market is heading,” said head of business development Richard Chapman. “Specifiers want more prefabricated solutions to help them meet the government’s Code for Sustainable Homes and we’re now offering panels incorporating insulation and services, including electrical contacts.”

The stand also featured Clearwood Windows, whose products Frame UK also pre-fits into its panels ready for delivery to site.
