Frame tech

Frame Technologies’ TechVantage E is our super-insulated panel system. It’s a popular choice among self-builders who want an energy-efficient building on a tight budget. Producing impressive U-values from 0.23 to 0.09W/m2K, this system can be built to meet a project’s core goals. This system provides a well-performing external wall with minimal thickness to accommodate the maximum wall area possible and excels when adapting challenging design features that usually cause heat loss.

This system excels when accommodating challenging design features, such as tall ceilings, that usually cause heat loss. And it reduces the ongoing energy costs during a home’s lifetime.

The system consists of a 140mm panel with 100mm Rigid Polyurethane Insulation fitted centrally in the panel. The thickness of the insulation can vary from 20mm to 120mm, depending on the project’s goals. The panel has a 9mm OSB outer sheathing with a choice of breathable membranes. Plasterboard can then be screwed through the extra insulation or vapour control layer.

TechVantage E was the perfect system for the award-winning project Birchfield. TechVantage E improved thermal bridging in the property, and metal web floors allowed the property extra thermal, acoustic and sustainability benefits. Similarly, The Hen House, a visually striking home built across two levels, used TechVantage E to build a home to Passive House principles.
