Pre-insulated Panel Systems

Target Timber Systems can now offer a pre-insulated panel in addition to our traditional open panel.

After months of discussion with house builders and property developers to establish what they wanted from us as timber frame manufacturers, one message came through load and clear...

"We need a factory insulated panel with an integral service void."

With this message still ringing in our ears we went away and with the assistance of Kingspan insulation developed the TIPS (Target Insulated Panel System). As with all think tanks we came up with a number of complicated solutions but as always the simple solution proved to be the best.

The TIPS is made up of 140mm CLS studs generally at 600mm centres with factory fixed 120mm Kingspan TW 55 plus a factory fixed reflective breather membrane which offers a 'U' value through the wall of 0.20 (see detail of enhanced 'U' values below).

There are a number of closed panel systems available but most are fully closed so do not have a service void within the panel, the service void is created by using battens and plasterboard, a costly and time consuming exercise that reduces valuable habitable floor space. The TIP system addresses these problems as the overall thickness is the same as traditional timber frame and still has an integral service void.
