OUR Standard Construction


Drawings (New Build)
With building regulations changing regularly and the efficiency of buildings becoming a higher priority
within these changes, achieving the right new-build or retrofit solution at an acceptable cost can be a
challenge.

To help the construction industry reduce these costs we have produced a series of future proof standard
construction details to help housebuilders maximise the contribution of the fabric of a building in SAP.

D1A New Build Aerated Full Fill


D1B New Build Aerated Part Fill
D1C New Build Aggregate Full Fill
D1D New Build Aggregate Part Fill

Each of the construction details uses standard construction techniques and materials, which are
assembled in carefully planned detail to minimise the thermal conductivity.

Why use these Details?


• Independently verified by BRE and LABC standard construction drawings D1B - aerated PART fill

• Significantly reduced Thermal Bridging


• Requires very simple changes to standard building methods
• No significant increase in build cost for contractors
• Removes the need to use default SAP values
• Available as CAD drawings
All Details must be read in conjunction with notes on page 33 © Travis Perkins plc 2011

• Products specified in the plans are uniquely coded and are

Our approach
The approach we took to create the Standard Construction Details:

• Standard brick and block construction for the first details with a maximum 100mm cavity
• Carefully analysed commercial case for all components, delivering the optimum balance of cost
versus contribution to SAP
• Developed the details and sections in 80 cross sections from foundation to just above the eaves
• With the help of the BRE selected 88 junctions to detail and model to show the biggest gain
against the Accredited values in Appendix R within SAP 2009/2012
• Reduced our thermal bridging for the property and applied these in two test houses: a two-

bedroom mid and end terrace of 80m2, and a three-bedroom detached property of 113m2

and temperature factors”, and in accordance with “IP1/06 - Assessing the effects of thermal bridging at

To gain the benefits from our construction drawings an architect has to include our wall construction
details within their own bespoke designs. The SAP Assessor then benefits from our outstanding psi
values within their SAP Assessment.

Improvements against SAP


The Standard Construction Drawings have generated substantial improvements against standard SAP
Accredited values for Linear Thermal Transmittance and they far exceed any other values published.

The Standard Construction Details can only be submitted with the new ψ – values if the build is exactly
as shown as using the products specified.

Any deviation makes the figures void, including using products that have a better U-Value.

Example Improvements: Aerated Block Partial fill


Thermal Junction Accredited ψ (W/mK) Travis Perkins Standard

Appendix K Details ψ (W/mK)
Gable Wall - ψ 0.240 ψ 0.048 80%

Notes for New Build Detail


Notes to be used in conjunction with cad drawings
• Insulation within the internal gable wall should always be taken up to ridge level to future proof
the property for the possibility of the roof void being used as a habitable space.
• Damp Proof Course should be sealed to the Damp Proof Membrane at ground floor level.
• Additional insulation should be installed around the perimeter of the floor and continued up to
the bottom of the plasterboard at ground floor level.
• Gable wall and Intermediate Floor requires adequate restraint straps.
• All Party Wall psi values apply to both dwellings.

Air Tightness
These products help to reduce the air leakage throughout a dwelling.

Tapes
Tescon Profil
Tescon Profil is a single sided adhesive tape for junctions at windows, doors and
for corner bonding.

Contega PV
Contega PV is a high quality tape, used for connections to un-plastered masonry

Sealants
Orcon F
The Orcon F joint adhesive is for joining junctions to building components

Internal Membranes
Intello
The Intello is a high performance vapour membrane which provides a degree
of protection from structural damage, even under extreme weather conditions.

External Membranes
Solitex UD
The Solitex UD is an external membrane cover fleece which acts as a roof lining
membrane and provides insulation.

Solitex Plus
The Solitex Plus improves the overall strength of the membrane and guarantees the resistance from nails
or feet, when used as a roof lining membrane or sarking membrane.
