THE PRODUCT
Foundations
Mass concrete strip footings 200mm deep by 350mm wide in a foundation trench 450mm deep support a rising wall of 190mm concrete blocks over a brick grip damp course. The foundation plate of treated SAP 114mm x 38mm is secured by thunderbolt masonry screws. Clout nails and hurricane clips are used to fix the panels to the foundation plate, to each other and to the roof timbers An acrylic resin cured fibreglass mesh is attached to each face of the frame. When plastered the timber performs merely a structural role, with a lime/cement plaster on each face providing the insulation and finish. The panels contain within them the window frames, door frames and electrical reticulation comprising the DB board, conduits, plug and switch boxes. There is also a plumbing panel to assist the speedy connection where bathroom and kitchen are back to back. Because of the cavity created by the design, the temperature insulation and thermal properties are proven to be similar to that of a cavity wall of clay bricks.
Floor
An in-situ concrete floor slab of between 75mm and 100mm is thrown over a damp proof membrane after the walls are plastered, and before painting and glazing. The floor level is the same as the top of the lowest horizontal member of the wall panels, and should be about 150mm above ground.
The READYKIT panel is simple and easy to understand. A timber panel that has a standard width of 1m, but also 1.5m and 2m if required, is made of dried and cured 114mm x 38mm SAP to stand between 2500mm and 3000mm high and either 1000mm or 1500mm wide.
The roof covering can be any chosen material. Ceiling material is either thermally efficient Isoboard or gypsum ceiling board plus aerolite
