Hi,

Can anyone recommend a timberframe wall structure that has a high standard of insulation, uses basic builders merchants materials and doesnt have any risk of condensation?

My roofer has been asked to build a timberframe house and is looking at the condensation risk/ airtightness/ insulation levels and cost, with cost being an important factor.

I am thinking of:

dense block wall
50mm air gap
xxxxx???? sheathing
225mm timberframe at 600 centres pumped with cellulose (or filled with rockwool flexi)
intelligent membrane
50mm insulated service void
12.5mm plasterboard

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Steve
