About Gang-Nail Truss Frame
Development of Gang-Nail Truss Frame Using our proven method of Customer-Back Innovation and listening to market challenges , we’ve created a new solution. Known as the innovative alternative to traditional timber frame walls, Gang-Nail Truss Frame recently won the ‘Best Brand New Product’ in the Housebuilder Product Awards 2022. A system of standardised wall elements, made offsite, that combine into larger modules on-site. The Gang-Nail Truss Frame wall elements are made up of timbers pressed together at the joints using Gang-Nail nail plates. This new solution has been in development in our research and development team for over 2 years. It addresses market challenges such as; • Shortages and cost of OSB • The shift towards offsite manufacturing • Energy performance • Efficiencies in manufacturing • Complexity in design calculations What makes us unique Our products have made a name for themselves by holding positions in niche markets where ITW technology can address customers’ unique needs like higher global standards for safety and energy efficiency as well as the growth of offsite construction projects. We are a fully integrated supply partner for all things related to the offsite and prefab industry in U.K, Ireland and Nordics. With an experienced technical team, premium fixings and our own metalwork brand, we are the only company that can provide a holistic service for all your truss, panel, joist and metalwork needs.

Features
With the Gang-Nail Truss Frame you’ll experience these features
The Gang-Nail Truss Frame structure allows a lesser amount of insulation to be wrapped around the wall panel’s external face, eliminating thermal bridges and saving on material. U-values of 0.18 W/m²K and lower is easily achievable, meeting new Part- L standards. Gang-Nail Truss Frame is made as wall elements using Gang-Nail nail plates to press the timber joints together. The structural strength achieved from this design method results in superior resistance to wind loading compared with traditional timber frame. This means less requirement for steel goal posts and the elimination of sheathing. Gang-Nail Truss Frame structural elements have pre-defined values based on external testing of the panels. This means Building Designers can rely on the published values all the way through from design to on-site construction. This also simplifies calculations in case of re-design, saving time and reducing complexity.

Gang-Nail Truss Frame has achieved and exceeded 30 and 60 minutes fire tests , making it a safe and certified alternative to traditional timber frame.
Fire Tested
Gang-Nail Truss Frame external walls with insulation, membranes and the frame itself are up to 60mm narrower width than a traditional timber frame panel. This potentially means a per plot saving of up to 120mm resulting in reduced foundation footprint and the option to fit more homes on multi-site developments. Gang-Nail Truss Frame elements can be produced with factory built in tolerance to allow adjustments on site for variations in foundations. Tolerance can be allowed for at the end of the panels to enable for trimming to fit variations in foundations, similar to what is currently done on roof trusses e.g. 25mm horn. Gang-Nail Truss Frame elements weigh approximately 20% less than traditional timber frame wall panels as OSB is eliminated, and the panel is narrower. This makes them easier to manually handle and reduces overall transportation loads.

Benefits
With the Gang-Nail Truss Frame you’ll experience these benefits
Gang-Nail Truss Frame gains its structural strength and superior resistance to wind- loading from the design and the use of Gang-Nail nail plates for the joints of the timbers. This eliminates the need for OSB, currently used to provide structural integrity to traditional timber frame walls. This means the elimination of panel nailing and OSB, and the associated use of synthetic resins and waxes.

Eliminate OSB
Gang-Nail Truss Frame wall elements can as open panels be insulated with minimal cutting, reducing the on-site installation time .
Time Saving
Gang-Nail Truss Frame is a set of standard wall panel elements (600mm, 1200mm, 1800mm, 2400mm wide and 2100-2700mm high) that can be combined multiple ways making it a modular system. It can form external, and internal load-bearing and non- loadbearing and party walls with no max span, allowing for wide open plan layouts and external apertures for large windows and doors. This offers true flexibility in design, whilst benefiting from standardisation efficiencies. With the Gang-Nail Truss Frame system you can use our existing Paslode and Cullen range for a full wall solution . Paslode structural timber screws or nails are used to fix the frame elements together whilst Cullen wall ties fix insulation and breather membrane as an integrated wall solution. The Gang-Nail Truss Frame wall elements are designed to be made offsite , meaning they can be manufactured in a controlled environment. This helps meet the government’s pre-manufactured value (PMV) threshold of 55% for the Affordable Homes Programme. Gang-Nail Truss Frame has been submitted to NHBC Accepts for accreditation. This means closed panels can quickly be inspected by NHBC in an offsite manufacturing environment and open panels equally quickly inspected on site, providing reassurance in compliance. Gang-Nail Truss Frame is made as a finished wall element using Gang-Nail nail plates to press the timber joints together. As is currently a requirement in the production of roof trusses (BS-EN 14250), this means the wall elements can be UKCA marked by the fabricator. The presence of UKCA certification makes it easier and quicker to meet on- site quality inspections and audits by TRADA, BBA, NHBC, etc.
