Panel Options
Harmony Timber Frame systems can be supplied as open panel or closed panel construction, depending on the level of prefabrication required for your project. Our reliable, high-performance systems support energy efficiency, reduce carbon impact and meet current UK Building Regulations, including Part L.
Open Panel Timber Frame
Open Panel systems consist of structural timber studs sheathed with OSB and protected with a breathable membrane. Insulation, vapour control layers and internal finishes are typically installed once the frame has been erected on-site.
Benefits include
- Greater flexibility during the build process
- Allows easy coordination of follow-on trades on-site
- Adaptable to allow the integration of commercial M&E systems
Closed Panel Timber Frame
Closed panel systems are manufactured in our factory-controlled environment, with insulation, vapour control layers and service battens installed prior to delivery. Panels arrive on-site ready for rapid installation, helping to accelerate the build programme.
Benefits include:
- Faster on-site installation and improved programme certainty
- Improved quality control through off-site manufacturing
- Excellent thermal performance, with low U-values typically 0.18-0.12W/m2k
- Reduced on-site labour and improved health & safety
- Supports Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and higher PMV targets
