Knauf Facades - Framed Building Infill System

Interior/Exterior Framed Building Infill - Thermal Stud Walls - Frame Infill Panel System

Knauf Facades, the latest division of the Knauf Group, manufacture and supply complete ‘through the wall’ infill systems for steel and concrete framed buildings.

Our systems have been developed in close conjunction with the construction industry. Designed to meet exacting standards, ranging from flexibility of use to high levels of structural and thermal performance, each of the Knauf Facades Exterior Wall Systems enjoys a wide range of benefits.

Knauf ThermaFrame System

By using our innovative thermal stud, we are able to offer cost effective cold frame solutions that place the insulation between the vertical studs. Our ThermaFrame system is designed to meet the thermal requirements of your project by greatly reducing thermal transfer through the wall and removing the need for external insulation.

In addition, the ThermaFrame system has been designed to meet the future requirements of the Code for Sustainable Homes as well as current Building Regulations and Technical Handbooks. In many cases, ThermaFrame also reduces the thickness of the overall solution, providing you with a greater amount of internal space.

Knauf Warm Frame Systems

The Warm Frame System is a traditional frame infill panel system available with or without a ventilation cavity. By employing a warm frame construction the external face of the building can be sheathed as well as insulated, using mineral wool or rigid foam insulation. Incorporating a ventilation cavity makes a system suitable for residential as well as commercial buildings.
