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.
