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.

Insulation options

U-values shown in this leaflet are based on generic insulation values. Improved values can be obtained by specifying

higher performing insulation from leading insulation manufacturers such as Rockwool, Knauf, Kingspan and Isover. Fill
