Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document provides a comprehensive overview of Fermacell products and their applications in construction, focusing on timber frame systems, partitions, and environmental benefits.

Timber Stud Partitions
Fermacell timber stud partitions are versatile and commonly used in domestic applications. They offer Category 1 racking strength and can be quickly installed by stapling or nailing to timber studs, enhancing construction speed.

Twin Frame Systems
These systems offer advantages over masonry construction by reducing weight, build time, and cost. Fermacell meets Part E and several Robust Detail Compliant systems, providing fire and acoustic properties.

Racking Strength
Tests confirm Fermacell can replace timber sheet materials in timber frame constructions, adding lateral structural strength and serving as both a dry lining and structural board.

Market Sectors
Fermacell is suitable for self-build, factory-built/offsite, education/healthcare, and social housing sectors. It offers severe duty impact resistance, superior acoustics, load-bearing capacity, and faster construction times.

Environmental Impact
Fermacell boards are made from 100% recycled content, are recyclable, and contribute to a lower carbon footprint and higher BREEAM ratings.

Advanced Panel Systems (APS)
APS manufactures high-performance closed panel systems incorporating Fermacell Gypsum Fibreboard, enhancing construction speed, efficiency, and quality while reducing environmental impact.

Breathing Wall
This system positions the racking board inside the timber frame, allowing moisture passage without a vapour control layer, enhancing air tightness and thermal mass.

External Walls with Fermacell Powerpanel HD
Powerpanel HD boards provide weatherproofing, structural rigidity, fire protection, and soundproofing for external cladding on timber-framed constructions.

Timber Frame Systems
Fermacell offers solutions for loadbearing and non-loadbearing applications, reducing construction time and drying times with Fermacell Jointstik and Fine Surface Treatment (FST). A range of systems is available, including Robust Detail compliant options.

Timber Frame-4

www.fermacell.co.uk TIMBERFRAMES DETAILED OVERVIEW TIMBER FRAME SYSTEMS BREATHING WALL Breathing walls rely on the racking board to be positioned on the inside of the timber frame, unlike traditional timber frame systems where it is normally positioned to the cold cavity side. A vapour control layer is not needed in a breathing wall construction as the structure allows the free passage of moisture. Such constructions can include a natural fibre insulation board or a breather membrane holding the thermal insulation in place. Using a natural fibre insulation board will add to the air tightness...
