SpaceStud overview
The innovative Alpine SpaceStud system from
ITW Industry has been specifically developed
to meet the thermal requirements of the
Building Regulations and the Code for
Sustainable Homes.
The Code is the national standard for the sustainable
design and construction of new homes. The Code aims
to reduce our carbon emissions and create homes that
are more sustainable.
The Code measures the sustainability of a new home
against nine categories of sustainable design, rating the
'whole home' as a complete package. A one to six star
rating system communicates the overall sustainability
performance of a new home. The Code sets minimum
standards for energy and water use at each level.
Scottish Building Standard 2010, section 6.1.2, have
given target U-values for walls of 0.19 and a maximim
wall u-value of 0.25.

Key benefits of the SpaceStud system
Code for Sustainable Housing
SpaceStud complies to The Code for Sustainable Homes
to level 4 and above.
Economical
SpaceStud is one of the most cost effective wall stud
systems on the market to comply to The Code for
Sustainable Homes to level 4 and above.
Thermal performance
SpaceStud creates the wall thicknesses required to
reduce U-values and thermal bridging compared to solid
timber.
No drilling or notching
Fast and simple installation of services, without the need
for drilling or notching.
Improved racking resistance
SpaceStud is 20% more resistant to racking than
standard 38 x 140mm timber frame.
Software flexibility
SpaceStud can be priced and detailed in ITW Industry’s
management and detailing packages AiMS, VIEW and
hsbCAD software.
UKTFA “Fabric First”
SpaceStud supports the UK Timber Frame Association’s
“Fabric First” campaign which highlights the benefits of
using timber frame as the core fabric of a building to
achieve higher levels of The Code for Sustainable
Homes.
Quality
NHBC stipulate treated timber must be used in wall stud
construction. SpaceStud is manufactured with standard
treated timber sizes.

A key benefit of the SpaceStud system is that it
can be manufactured on existing roof truss and
floor joist presses to optimise production.
However, ITW Industry can supply a dedicated
machine built in partnership with AV Birch to
free up other presses if required.
Features of the AV Birch Wall Stud Press:
�Press SpaceStuds in depths of up to 3m in length
