Dry Shell
- 3D-frames design and manufacture timber framed structures
that may be erected without the use of wet trades associated with
masonry construction. We call this basic structure a 'dry shell'.
The completed structure is designed and engineered to transmit all
loads to foundations.
- When erected, our structures can be deemed
to be 'in the dry' as soon as windows
and external doors are installed. (You may choose to obtain them from us or elsewhere).
- From
that point onwards, roof tiling, external wall cladding and all
internal works may proceed without the build programme being unduly
affected by inclement weather.
A typical 'dry shell' for a two-storey
structure comprises:
- For solid ground floors (by others):- soleplate dpc, restraint clips
and fixing nails.
- For suspended joisted ground floors:- dpc, timber wall plate and restraint
straps, 197/220x47mm TR26 softwood floor joists, 22mm V313 tongue and grooved
chipboard flooring sheets, s/w starter strips ready to receive wall panels.
- External
wall panels incorporating 89x38mm or 140x38mm C16 structural framing with 9mm
OSB sheathing and outer faces covered with a breather membrane. Factory fitted
rigid insulation is an option.
- Internal wall panels with 89x38mm C16 structural
framing.
- Special structural posts and beams in timber, glulam or steel.
- 197/220x47mm
TR26 softwood floor joists for intermediate floors, 22mm V313 tongue
and grooved chipboard flooring sheets, s/w starter strips ready to
receive upper level wall panels.
- Roof structure formed with trussed
rafters and/or loose rafters with structural beams as required. Softwood
bracing, metalwork, non-breathable surface membrane, tiling battens,
softwood fascia and/or barge boards, plywood soffits and over fascia
vents / vent trays.
- Gable and internal spandrel panels compatible with
External and internal wall panels.
- Timber cavity closers with
dpc to suit current regulations.
- Erection drawings and specific
structural calculations.
