Environmental Benefits of a TALO® Solution
Zero carbon homes, zero bills, a healthier space to live in, and less impact on the environment during construction and occupation.
Significantly Exceeding UK Building Regulations for Energy Efficiency and Fire Safety
The exceptional thermal performance of the TALO structural system has evolved over the last 40 years and the delivery of more than 30,000 homes in Scandinavia.
Our timber superstructures have been tested in some of the harshest climates on earth - from wet and windy coastal regions to the extreme cold of Finland and Norway and temperatures as low as -50°.
This evolution of design and innovation allows us to deliver superior quality
superstructures to revolutionise UK housebuilding.
How we achieve outstanding thermal performance
1. 40mm PIR thermal insulation - a high performance PIR insulation board which offers multiple benefits - thermal insulation, air tightness and protection against moisture.
2. Service void between the plasterboard and thermal board allows electrical installations without penetrating the vapour barrier.
3. A corner solution with stitched seams, insulated with mineral wool and polyurethane foam to keep the wall structure warm and dry.
4. The thermal board is joined with the insulation in the foundation, and sealed with polyurethane foam.
5. Load bearing frame and mineral wool insulation.
6. Moisture-permeable wind barrier that reinforces the frame, GU plasterboard for timber cladding, aquapanel for render, OSB-board and Tyvek with cavity barriers for brick cladding.
7. An effective ventilation space between windbreaker and exterior cladding to protect the structures from moisture ingress.
8. Wide range of exterior options including timber, render, brick skin and brick cladding.
