High Performing closed timber wall panel - Thermistud™️
Thermistud™️ is a closed timber wall panel system designed to support the efficient construction of high-performing homes.
The core of the panel is an engineered stud, used for its ability to reduce thermal bridging through the panel.
The Thermistud™️ panel uses mineral wool insulation between the stud, which is hand fitted to reduce voids and slumping. The panel is supplied with membranes, service zones and externally fitted battens.
Low Carbon high performance glass - COOL-LITE® XTREME ORAE®
Our COOL-LITE® XTREME ORAE® is a low carbon high-performing glass. Manufactured using a high proportion (around 70%) of recycled glass (cullet), around 50% of which has come from external cullet from deconstruction glass.
Combined with the performance properties of COOL-LITE® XTREME coatings the glass has excellent performance in terms of daylight intake, solar control and thermal insulation.
COOL-LITE® XTREME ORAE® sustainability credentials do not compromise the technical and aesthetic properties thanks to Saint-Gobain expertise in glass manufacturing.
